A rock is thrown horizontally at a speed of 10.00 m/s from the top of a 50.0 m-high vertical cliff on another planet and lands 40.0 m from the base of the cliff. Air resistance is negligible on this planet. a) what is the acceleration due to gravity on this plane? b) if you wanted to double the horizontal distance covered when throwing the rock at the same initial speed, how high would the cliff need to be?

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.71 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 16.7 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. impact speed: m/s How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: S
A roof worker loses his grip on his box of tools while working on a tall house. His box slides down the roof. The roof is angled at 29 degrees with the horizontal.

The first active volcano observed outside the earth was discovered in 1970 on Io, one of the moons of jupiter. The volcano was observed ejecting material to the height of about 3x105m. Given the acceleration of gravity on Io is 1.8 m/s2. Find: a. The initial velocity of the ejected material. b. What is the velocity at half that height?
A stunt man drives a car at speed v = 20 m/s off a H=30 m high cliff. The road leading to the cliff is inclined upward at an angle theta = 10 degrees. How far from the base of the cliff does the car land? What is the car's impact speed? At what angle does the car hit the ground? Find the time it takes the car to hit the grounf after leaving the cliff? To what maximum height the car reaches to from the cliff? Neglect air drag and the size of the car. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2
Your nephew got a Nerf Bazooka gun for Christmas, so you take it outside to play with it (just like my uncles did when I was little). The bazooka is on your shoulder, 1.5 m above the ground. You aim the gun 25° above the horizontal and the big, foam projectile leaves the gun with an initial velocity of 36 m You accidentally aim the bazooka at a tree that is a horizontal distance of 27 m away. How long does it take for the projectile to hit the tree? t = How high (above the ground) in the tree does the projectile get stuck? hfinal = m Imagine you were more clever and aimed into an empty field with no obstructions. You can control how fast the projectile leaves the gun by pumping more times or fewer times (more pumps = faster projectile). What are TWO ways you could increase the amount of time that the projectile is in the air?
