AI Generated Solution

To find the speed of the projectile when it hits the ground, we can use the work-energy theorem. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a projectile fired from the top of a 40 m high cliff with an initial speed of 50 m/s at an unknown angle. We need to find the speed at which it hits the ground. ### Step 2: Apply the Work-Energy Theorem According to the work-energy theorem: \[ \text{Work done by all forces} = \text{Change in kinetic energy} \] ...
