Typically a building has two to three floors full of rooms for people to rent and relax in while they hit golf balls onto a 250-yard field. Suppose a person hits a golf ball from the second floor (h) with an initial velocity of 118 mph at a 15° angle (0). The golf ball is in the air for (t) secs and lands 170 (x) yards from its initial place. The path of the golf ball is depicted in figure 2.

- A rock was thrown horizontally from a 100.0 m high cliff. It strikes the ground 90.0 m from the base of the cliff. a) At what speed was it thrown? b) How long did it take to hit the ground. c) Neglecting wind resistance, which component of velocity is affected by gravity VERTICAL or HORIZONTAL? d) Sketch the trajectory of the rock as it falls to the ground and include the velocity vector at the beginning, midway down, and just before striking the ground. e) After you determine the total time in the air, you can then determine the final vertical velocity vector combined with the horizontal velocity determined earlier. Use these vectors to determine the resultant velocity vector just before landing.
