Answer:
104.59 m
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Horizontal velocity (u) = 13 m/s
Horizontal distance (s) = 60 m
Height of cliff =?
Next, we shall determine the time taken for the car to hit the ground. This can be obtained as follow:
Horizontal velocity (u) = 13 m/s
Horizontal distance (s) = 60 m
Time (t) =?
s = ut
60 = 13 × t
Divide both side by 13
t = 60 /13
t = 4.62 s
Finally, we shall determine the height of the cliff. This can be obtained as follow:
Time (t) = 4.62 s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Height (h) =?
h = ½gt²
h = ½ × 9.8 × 4.62²
h = 4.9 × 21.3444
h = 104.59 m
The, the height of the cliff is 104.59 m
