Assuming there is no air resistance, you can use the formula x(t)=x0+v0*t+1/2*a(t)^2 in order to find the time(t) it takes for the projectile to reach the ground below the cliff
0=310+220sin(25)*t-9.81/2*(t)^2
After finding the time, you can use the formula Vf=Vi+at
Vf=220-9.81*t
Then you're done
A projectile is fired at an upward angle of 25.0^\circ from the top of a 310 m cliff with a speed of 220 m/s.
What will be its speed when it strikes the ground below? (Use conservation of energy.)

it says to use conservation of energy
we know conservation of energy when not dealing with heat is u+k=u+k where u is the potential energy and k is you kinetic energy. potential energy is mass x gravity x height. kinetic energy is (1/2)(mass)(velocity)^2.
from there you get the same answer as previous but in the proper method.
