  • Projectile Motion Analysis: Ball Thrown from Cliff - 1 Second Later
    Here's how to break down the ball's motion one second later:

    Horizontal Motion:

    * Constant Velocity: Since there's no horizontal force acting on the ball (ignoring air resistance), it will continue moving horizontally at a constant 8 meters per second.

    * Horizontal Displacement: The ball will have traveled 8 meters horizontally in one second (8 m/s * 1 s = 8 m).

    Vertical Motion:

    * Acceleration due to Gravity: The only force acting on the ball vertically is gravity, which causes a downward acceleration of approximately 9.8 m/s².

    * Vertical Velocity: After one second, the ball will have gained a downward velocity of 9.8 m/s (9.8 m/s² * 1 s = 9.8 m/s).

    * Vertical Displacement: The ball will have fallen a distance of 4.9 meters (using the equation d = 1/2 * a * t², where d is distance, a is acceleration, and t is time).

    Summary:

    One second after being thrown, the ball will have:

    * Horizontal Velocity: 8 m/s

    * Vertical Velocity: 9.8 m/s downwards

    * Horizontal Displacement: 8 meters

    * Vertical Displacement: 4.9 meters downwards
