speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. Ignore air resistance. Calculate
(a) the maximum height above the roof that the rock reaches.
(b) the speed of the rock just before it strikes the ground; and
(c) the horizontal range from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes
the ground.
An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.75 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 7.50 m/s from a height of 1.60 m above the ground.
(a) Will the rock reach the top of the wall?
Yes
No
(b) If so, what is its speed at the top? If not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top?
m/s
Enter a number.
(c) Find the change in speed of a rock thrown straight down from the top of the wall at an initial speed of 7.50 m/s and moving between the
same two points.
m/s
(d) Does the change in speed of the downward-moving rock agree with the magnitude of the speed change of the rock moving upward
between the same elevations?
Yes
No
(e) Explain physically why it does or does not agree.
A stone is thrown with an initial speed of 15m/s at an angle of 53° above the horizontal from the top of a 35m building. If g=9.8m/s^2 and air resistance is negligable, then what is the speed of the rock as it hits the ground?
