Justin Bieber is thrown horizontally at 10.0 m/s from the top of a cliff 122.5 m high.

How long does it take to reach the ground?

What is the horizontal displacement?

What is Justin's final velocity?

    ===> Distance fallen from rest in free fall =

    (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

    (122.5 m) = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time²)

    Divide each side by (4.9 m/s²) : (122.5 m / 4.9 m/s²) = time²

    (122.5/4.9) s² = time²

    Take the square root of each side: 5.0 seconds

    ===> (Accelerating at 9.8 m/s², he will be dropping at

    (9.8 m/s²) x (5.0 s) = 49 m/s

    when he goes 'splat'. We'll need this number for the last part.)

    ===> With no air resistance, the horizontal component of velocity

    doesn't change.

    Horizontal distance = (10 m/s) x (5.0 s) = 50 meters.

    ===> Impact velocity = (10 m/s horizontally) + (49 m/s vertically)

    = √ (10² + 49²) = 50.01 m/s arctan (10/49)

    = 50.01 m/s at 11.5° from straight down,

    away from the base of the cliff.
