The acceleration due to gravity on earth is ft/s2.
The acceleration of the object is , where
is the velocity.
Hence .
The antiderivative of is
.
The stone is freely falling, so the initial velocity .
Substitute and
in
.
Therefore the velocity of a stone at time is
.
The velocity of the stone, when it hits the ground is ft/s.
Find the time when it reaches the ground.
\Negative sign indicates that the stone is falling downward.
\The stone reaches the ground at time sec
.
The velocity of the object is , where
is the distance.
The antiderivative of is
, where
is the constant.
When time , then the height of stone is the height of the cliff.
is the height of cliff.
When the stone reaches the ground then the height of the stone is .
Substitute and
in
.
The height of the cliff is ft.
The height of the cliff is ft.
