My physics teacher gave a question about free fall and I cannot answer it. She did not tell us how to do it so I'm gonna depend on you guys.This is the problem my fucked up teacher gave
"A ball was thrown horizontally from a top of the building(122.5 m) with a initial velocity of 10 m/s. What is the final velocity? How long does it take the stone to reach the ground?"

Any help would be appreciated.

>> No.5201000

You're a retarded idiot.

>> No.5201007

Well, okay i wont spel out the solution out for you but ill show how its done

You have no friction, so the velocity on x will be constant
so
Vx= V0x
and
x= x0+V0x*t

while on y, there is downward acceleration, gravity (minus sign)
vy= v0y + (-g)*t
and the position for y is (remeber for the freefall vy0= 0)
y= y0+v0y*t -0.5*g*t^2

to find the time you need to find t for the final position

to find the velocity you need the final velocity on y and x (when it reaches the ground)

good luck

Also, blaming your teacher because you're incompetent and can't read three pages from a textbook nor find one of 1000 similar examples on the internets.

not horizontally i mean vertically

"A ball was thrown vertically" my bad im sorry

vy=sqrt(2gh)
vx=10m/s
vf=sqrt(vx^2+vy^2)
t=sqrt(2h/g)
do it

>> No.5201039

>>5201026
same as
>>5201007
only instead of having v0y= 0 and v0x= 10m/s
you have v0y= 10m/s and v0x= 0

If you cant manage solving it with that go look up projection motion in google because we are not just going to give you the results

how long it falls, solve for t
x=x0+v0t+0.5gt^2
final speed, solve for v
v=v0+gt

This is a really simple approach.

No... CLEARLY it's your teacher's fault you don't know how to solve this problem.

is it possible to have Vf and Vi both greater than 1?

>>5201187
We've already established that this is the case

>> No.5201196

>>5201185
No, velocity cannot exceed 1 m/s (the speed of light). This is one of the basic postulates of quantum mechanics.

If you're getting a velocity greater than 1 go back and check your work.

This, also remember to check for time dilation - it's really easy to forget but can throw your answer way off.

a) <span class="math">v=\sqrt{10^{2}+(2\cdot -g \cdot -122.5)}= 50.0\:ms^{-1}\;(3\:s.f.)[/spoiler]

Is the rock being thrown in a vacuum?
Is the building made out of neutronium?
If there is atmosphere, is the density uniform?

The teacher didn't say where the ball was thrown from though. For all op knows it could have been frown from a building on mars.
