A projectile is launched horizontally with an initial speed of v0 = 38.5 m/s at the top of a cliff in a lake (h = 80 m) What is the speed of the projectile when its height from the water is y = 30 m?
Summary: speed of the projectile at B ( 30 m above water) =49.6 m/s
Kindly note the symbols used.
Vx and Vy for velocities at B( 30 m above water)
a( ay)for vertical acceleration.( Same as acceleration due to gravity)
S for displacement ( here 80-30 = 50)
t for time taken to reach B.
Ux for initial horizontal velocity ( at A)(given in the question as V0
Uy for vertical initial velocity( at A) = 0 m/s
