A stone is projected at an initial speed of 120 ft/s directed 62° above the horizontal, at a cliff of height h, as shown in Fig. The stone strikes the ground at A 5,5 s after launching. Find (a) the height h of the cliff, (b) the speed of the stone just before impact at A, and (c) the maximum height H reached above the ground.

(c)
The maximum height H is:
236-1830_1.PNG
Round off to two significant figures,
H = 174 ft
Therefore, the maximum height attained by the stone relative to ground is 174 ft .
236-2358_1.PNG
Therefore, the stone takes 1.2 s to move from point H to A
.

Therefore, the height of the cliff is 96 ft. .

Round of to two significant figures,

Therefore, the speed of the stone just before it hits the cliff is 91 ft/s .

in the figure, a stone is projected at a cliff of height h with an initial speed of  46.0 m/s  directed at an angle θ 0 = 50.0°  above the horizontal. The stone strikes at A,  5.19 s  after launching. Find (a) the height h of the cliff, (b) the speed of the stone just before impact at A, and (c) the maximum height H reached above the ground.
