First, use the formula d = 1/2 * a * t^2 Solving for t gives t = ( 2 * d / a) ^ 1/2 (i.e., the square root of 2d over a) So, t = 29.97 sec ... that's how long it takes to hit the ground. Now, the ball travels horizontally at 120 m/s for 29.97 seconds, so it hits at 120*29.97 or 3596 meters from the base of the cliff. The last question is trickier ... the velocity has a horizontal and a vertical component. The horizontal component is, of course, the 120 m/s. The vertical component is given by v = a * t, or 1.67 * 29.97 which equals 50.05 m/s. The magnitude of the resultant vector is the square root of 120 squared plus 50.05 squared ... or 130.0 m/s. |
