Hello, there are several variables I have had to find for this problem but I am stuck on figuring out the last two. Please help! Thank you.
A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 60∘ with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 128 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 32 m/s.
Known:v0= 32 m/s
v0x= 16 m/s
v0y= 27.6 m/s
Δy= 39.12 m
t(ground)= 8.76 s
Δx(total)= 138.72 m
Unknown:
How far has it moved horizontally when it is at maximum altitude?
Δx= ?
What are the horizontal and vertical positions of the rock relative to the edge of the cliff at t = 4.4 s. Assume that the origin (0,0) for this part is loacted at the edge of the cliff. Enter the positions with their correct signs.
Position: (x= ? , y= ?)m
I uploaded multiple-question questions; a, b and c are solved. Can you solve the option d? Thank you.
Hi, the three coordinate systems specified in this question would be Cartesian (our regular x-y-z frame), normal-tangential, and cylindrical/polar.
