Fun Physics Stuff!!

Problem One

1. How high is the cliff? (11.9 m)



2. How far from the base of the cliff does the ball land? (27.0 m)




3. What is the speed of impact? (23.1 m/s)



Horizontal

s u = 17.3 m/s v a = 0 (horizontally) t = 1.56 s



 Vertical

s u = 0 (purely horizontal) v a = -9.81 m/s/s (on earth) t = 1.56 s
