A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff at a speed of 10 m/s. What is its speed two second later. Note: Find the vertical component of the velocity after 2 second by using v (vertical component) = gt and since there is no horizontal acceleration, the horizontal velocity does not change and is equal to 10 m/s. Now find the speed (magnitude of the resultant velocity) with the use of Pythogorean theorem. That is V = SQRT [(v-(vertical component))^2 + (v-(horizontal component))^2].
Select one:
a. 14 m/s
b. 22 m/s
c. 10 m/s
d. 19.8 m/s

A rectangular barge, 5 m long and 2 m wide, floats in fresh water. (a) find how much deeper it floats when its load is 400-kg horse. (b) If the barge can only be pushed 15 cm deeper into the water before water overflows to sink it, how many 400-kg horses can it carry? Note that buoyant force = volume displaced x density of water x g, where density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 and g = 10 m/s^2. Also 400 kg load is 400 g = 4000 N.
