  • 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].
