A rock is thrown from the edge of the top of a 51 m tall building at some unknown angle above the horizontal. The rock strikes the ground a horizontal distance of 74 m from the base of the building 8 s after being thrown. Assume that the ground is level and that the side of the building is vertical. Determine the speed with which the rock was thrown.

The speed of projection is 34 m/s.

Explanation:

Height of building, h = 51 m

horizontal distance, d = 74 m

time, t = 8 s

Let the angle is A and the speed is u.

d = u cos A x t

74 = u cos A x 8

u cos A = 9.25 .... (1)

Use second equation of motion

Squaring and adding both the equations

answer: 2×10^-2kg

explanation: density= mass per volume

vol=mass/density

converting to s.i units we have;

3÷1000kg = 0.003

1.5÷100m = 0.15

0.003/0.15 = 0.02kg
