An object is thrown off a cliff with a horizontal speed of 10 m/sec. After 3 seconds the object hits the ground. The height of the cliff and the total horizontal distance traveled by the object (S)= 30m.
What is velocity?
Velocity is a physical term that means a particle change its distance in a given** time**. That called the velocity. It can be measured in m/s or cm/s.
How can we calculate the height?
To calculate the height we are using the formula here is,
S=vt
Here we are given,
v= The velocity of the object.= 10 m/s.
t= The** time **of the falling. = 3 s.
We have to calculate the** height **of the cliff = S
Now we put the values in the above equation, we get
S=vt
Or, S= 10×3
Or, S= 30
From the above calculation we can say that, The height of the cliff and the total horizontal distance traveled by the object (S)= 30m.
