For these calculations, air resistance is neglected and acceleration due to

gravity is assumed to be -9.8 m/s2. It is assumed the the rock was thrown horizontally.

Velocity is a vector, with an x component and a y component. The x component will not change, so the x component at the point of impact will be 8 m/s. The y component of the velocity is initially zero, and the acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. The final y component of the velocity can be found using the formula

vy2 = v0y2 + 2(a)(h)

so vy2 = 2(-9.8)(-100), so vy is 44.3. The x and y components of the velocity vectors now need to be put to together using the Pythagorean theorem. So

v2 = 44.32 + 82 so the final velocity is 45.02 m/s. The angle relative to the ground can be found using the tangent. tan-1(44.3/8), which is 79.8 degrees.

When an object moves with inconstant velocity does its average velocity differ from its instantaneous velocity?

Generally it is a Yes. Instantaneous velocity is the exact velocity at a particular time in the course of the movement. However, average velocity is the average of all the instantaneous velocity over a period of time. It is also known as speed in everyday life. As a result, the movement of an object over a time period under varying velocity denotes a varying instantaneous velocity which could be different from the average velocity. It is however, possible that the instantaneous velocity equates to the average velocity at a certain point over the duration of movement. For example, a ball is traveling at instantaneous velocity of 99m/s at t=1s , 100m/s at t=2s and 101m/s at t=3s. the average velocity over the 3s period is hence 100m/s which coincides with the instantaneous speed at t=2s.

How can average velocity be zero if traveled 100m?

This question revolves around the idea of vector quantities. Vector quantities involve two factors: magnitude and direction. Velocity (as well as average velocity) is a vector quantity. The given value of 100m is a magnitude of a distance which is a scalar quantity. Average velocity can be represented as below (all V's represent velocity, not speed). Vavg = ½ (Vi + Vf ). Let us say that an object was traveling at an initial velocity of 15m/s [East] for a certain amount of time. Afterward, the object suddenly travels at a final velocity of 15m/s [West] for a certain amount of time. In total, the object may have traveled 100m. Because the direction of the two velocities are opposite, the magnitude of the two values are opposite of one another. In other words, Vavg = ½ (0m/s) = 0. Therefore, it is important to always think about the direction an object is travellng when a vector quantity is involved.

How long would it take to fall 100 meters?

It all depends on the initial velocity at which you fell, and whether air resistence is present, etc. If you are simply in a state of free fall, your time to reach the ground would be d=100m v1=0 a=9.8 <- acceleration of gravity on earth t=unknown d = Vi*t + 1/2 a t^2 100m=0*t+1/2(9.8) *t^2 100m=4.9*t^2 sqrt:(100m/4.9)=t
