Question

When the stone hits the ground, its height is 0 ft.

We can now use

0 = s(4.75) = -16t^2 + h.

Solving for h we find that the height of the cliff is
h = ___ ft.

Solution

It seems like you're trying to solve for the initial height (h) of a stone thrown off a cliff using the equation for the height of an object in free fall: 0 = -16(4.75)^2 + h. This equation is derived from the physics formula for the height of an object under the influence of gravity, which is h = -16t^2 + vt + h0, where t is the time, v is the initial velocity, and h0 is the initial height. In this case, the stone is dropped (so initial velocity, v, is 0) and it hits the ground after 4.75 seconds (so final height, h, is 0).

Here's how you can solve for h:

  1. Substitute the given values into the equation: 0 = -16(4.75)^2 + h
  2. Simplify the equation: 0 = -16*22.5625 + h
  3. Simplify further: 0 = -360.25 + h
  4. Solve for h by adding 360.25 to both sides of the equation: h = 360.25 feet

So, the height of the cliff is approximately 360.25 feet.

A stone thrown vertically upward at12m/s. How high would the stone be when its speed is 8m/s?a.4.1mb.4.5mc.4.8md.4.9m

A stone is released from the top of a tower of height 19.6 m. Calculate its final velocity just before touching the ground.

We know that the stone's velocity was −152 ft/s when it hit the ground. Therefore, since v(t) = −32t, the time when the stone hit the ground wast = s.
