    initial velocity=12.31 m/s

    Final speed = 16.234 m/s

    Explanation:

    Given Data

    height=5.72 m

    distance=13.30 m

    To Find

    Initial Speed=?

    Solution

    Use the following equation to determine the time of the stone is falling.

    d = vi * t ½ * 9.8 * t²

    Where

    d = 5.72m and vi = 0 m/s

    so

    5.72 = ½ * 9.8 * t²

    t = √ (5.72 : 4.9)

    t=1.08 seconds

    To determine the initial horizontal velocity use the following equation.

    d = v*t

    13.30 = v * 1.08

    v = 13.30 : 1.08

    v=12.31 m/s

    To determine stone's final vertical velocity use the following equation

    vf = vi+9.8*t ... vi=0 m/s

    vf = 9.8*1.08

    vf = 10.584 m/s

    To determine stone's final speed use the following equation

    Final speed = √[Horizontal velocity²+Final vertical velocity²]

    Final speed = √{ (12.31 m/s) ² + (10.584 m/s) ²}

    Final speed = 16.234 m/s
