From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones, as shown in the drawing. The cliff is 30.5 m high. The two stones described have identical initial speeds of vo -14.9 m/s and are thrown at an angle -32.4, one below the horizontal and one above the horizontal, what is the distance between the points where the stones strike the water?

Explanation / Answer


time of flight for the stone1 which is thrown above horizontal is T1

let T2 be the time of flight for the stone2 which is thrown below the horizontal

then apply


-h = (u1*sin(32.4)*T)-(0.5*g*T1^2)

u1 = 14.9 m/s
and g = 9.8 m/s^2 and h = 30.5 m

4.9*T1^2-(14.9*sin(32.4))*T)-30.5 = 0

4.9*T1^2 - 7.98*T - 30.5 = 0

solving we get T1 = 3.43 S


and similarly

for stone2

-30.5 = (-14.9*sin(32.4)*T2) -(0.5*9.8*T2^2)

4.9*T2^2+(7.98*T2)-30.5 =0

solving we get

T2 = 1.81 S


then Horintal distance travelled by sdtone1 is R1 = u1*cos(32.4)*T1 = 14.9*cos(32.5)*3.43 = 43.2 m


by stone2 is R2 = 14.9*cos(32.4)*1.81 = 22.77 m


then required idstance is R1-R2 = 43.2-22.77 = 20.43 m
