Irina standing on the edge of a cliff throws a stone at 40 degree angle above the horizontal with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. The instant before the stone hits the ground below, it is traveling at a speed of 37 m/s. If Irina were to throw the other rock at 40 degree angle below the horizontal from the cliff instead, with the same initial speed of 10.0 m/s, what is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground? Ignore any effects of air resistance.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

First stone is thrown at an angle of [tex]\theta =40^{\circ}[/tex] Above horizontal

second stone is thrown at angle of [tex]40^{\circ}[/tex] below horizontal

let h be the height of building

Initial velocity is same in both case i.e. u=10 m/s

Horizontal velocity will remain same as there is no acceleration and there will only be vertical velocity change

for first case

[tex]v_y^2-v^2=2gh[/tex]

[tex]v_y=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

Net velocity at ground

[tex]37=\sqrt{(u\cos 40)^2+(v_y)^2}[/tex]

[tex]37^2=(10\cos 40)^2+2\times 9.8\times h[/tex]

[tex]h=\frac{1310.317}{2\times 9.8}=66.85 m[/tex]

For second case

[tex]u_x=u\cos 40[/tex]

[tex]v_y'=u\sin 40[/tex]

Let [tex]v_0[/tex] be the final vertical velocity

[tex]v_0^2-v_y'^2=2gh[/tex]

[tex]v_0=\sqrt{v_y'^2+2gh}[/tex]

[tex]v_0=\sqrt{(10\sin 40)+2\times 9.8\times 66.85}[/tex]

[tex]v_0=36.76[/tex]

Final velocity at ground

[tex]=\sqrt{v_0^2+u_x^2}[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{36.76^2+(10\cos 40)^2}[/tex]

[tex]=37.55 m/s[/tex]
