Question

During camp, a simple way to estimate the height of a cliff is to drop a stone from the top and hear the splash when it hits the water below. The stone takes 3.6 seconds to drop. Assume sound speed is infinite. The height of the cliff is ___ meters.

Answer 1

The heigth of the cliff is 63.504 m.

What is height?

Height is the vertical distance  between two points.

To calculate the height of the cliff, we use the formula below.

Formula:

• S = ut+gt²/2........... Equation 1

Where:

• S = Height of the cliff
• t = Time
• u = Initial velocity
• g = Accceleration.

From the question,

Given:

• u = 0 m/s
• t = 3.6 s
• g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

• S = 0×3.6+9.8×3.6²/2
• S = 63.504 m

Hence, the heigth of the cliff is 63.504 m.
