The stone was thrown through a distance of 80 cm the act of throwing takes approximately 0.064 s. determine the launch velocity of the stone
To determine the launch velocity of the stone, we can use the formula for projectile motion:
v = d / t
where:
v is the launch velocity,
d is the distance the stone was thrown,
t is the time it took to throw the stone.
Given:
d = 80 cm = 0.8 m (converted from centimeters to meters),
t = 0.064 s.
Now, let's plug in the values into the formula to calculate the launch velocity:
v = 0.8 m / 0.064 s
v ≈ 12.5 m/s
Therefore, the launch velocity of the stone is approximately 12.5 m/s.
