A boy throws a stone horizontally from the top of a cliff of height h = 50.0 m towards the

ocean below. The stone strikes the water at a distance d = 60.0 m from the base of the cliff.

The time at which the stone lands in the water is 3.19s. Calculate the initial speed of the stone?

    The vertical component of the stone's initial velocity is 0 because it was projected horizontally.

    The horizontal component:

    velocity = displacement / time

    Vx = 60 / 3.19

    Vx = 18.8 m/s

    V = Vx

    So the stone's initial velocity is 18.8 m/s
