... angle q0 = 32 o above the horizontal.
a) How long does it take to land?
b)How far from the base of the cliff does it land?
c)What is its maximum height above the base of the cliff?

A very easy question of "Projectiles".
First i'll introduce the letters.
The height of ball goes from the cliff: h
The height of the ball goes from base of the cliff: H ( H= h+ 17m )
The horizontal distance of the ball from the cliff : S
Total time ball takes to complete projectile : t
Total time ball takes to complete from end of the projectile to base of the cliff : t'
Total time ball takes to base of of the cliff : T ( T= t+ t')
The velocity of ball when it ends the movement of projectile : v
I took gravitational force as 10m/s
So this is how it solve.
To the 1st half movement of projectile > downwards,
v2 = u2 + 2as
0 = (8 sin 32 )2 - 2 x 10 x h
20h = (8 x 0.5299)2
20h = (4.2392)2
20h = 17.97m
h = 0.89 m
to the 2nd half movement of projectile > downwards,
S = ut + 1/2 a(t/2)2
h = 1/2 x 10 x (t/2)2
(t/2)2 = ( 2x 0.89 ) / 10
(t/2)2 = 0.178
t/2 = 0.42
so the total time ball takes for projectile is, t = 0.84seconds
to the 1st half of projectile > rightwards,
S = ut + 1/at2
S/2 = 8cos32t'
S/2 = 8x 0.8480 x 0.42
S = 5.69m
to the 2nd half of the projectile > downwards,
v2= u2 + 2aS
v2 = 0+ 2 x 10 x 0.89
v2 = 17.8
v = 4.21 m/s
to the gravitational movement of the ball from end of the projectile to the base of the cliff > downwards,
S = ut' + 1/2 a t'2
17 = 4.2t' + 1/2 x 10 x t'2
Find t'
so, for the Total time, T= t + t'
for the Total height ball goes, H = h + 17
the vertical distance ball goes, S .
:) :)
And it is HORIZONTAL DISTANCE. = S
by mistake i've written as vertical distance. :)
Sorry, gravitational acceleration = 10m/s2
