Pebble Velocity for Horizontal Impact on Juliet's Window
Chapter 3, Problem 56(choose chapter or problem)
Romeo is throwing pebbles gently up to Juliets window, and he wants the pebbles to hit the window with only a horizontal component of velocity. He is standing at the edge of a rose garden 8.0 m below her window and 8.5 m from the base of the wall (Fig. 3-49). How fast are the pebbles going when they hit her window?

QUESTION:
Romeo is throwing pebbles gently up to Juliets window, and he wants the pebbles to hit the window with only a horizontal component of velocity. He is standing at the edge of a rose garden 8.0 m below her window and 8.5 m from the base of the wall (Fig. 3-49). How fast are the pebbles going when they hit her window?
Step 1 of 3
The vertical displacement is 8.0 m
Choose upward to be the positive y direction, in the vertical direction,acceleration
\(a_{y}=-9.8 m / s^{2}\),Choose upward to be the positive y direction.
The velocity at the window is \(v_{y}=0\)
