At what velocity does the stone impact? (Link to picture included)

In summary, the velocity of the stone in the picture cannot be determined without additional information. It is not possible to estimate the velocity based on the picture alone. The velocity does not directly affect the impact of the stone, but a higher velocity means it will have a greater impact force. Factors that influence the velocity include the height from which it is dropped, gravity, and external forces. To calculate the velocity, you will need to know the distance and time it falls, but this will only provide an estimate due to other factors such as air resistance.

I have no clue how to do this problem, so if someone could explain to me step by step, it would be greatly appreciated!

Nvm, I did it.

It's against forum rules to help someone if they haven't shown any work. So can you at least start my writing down some relevant equations that you might have learned in class?
 

1. What is the velocity of the stone in the picture?

The velocity of the stone in the picture cannot be determined without additional information. The picture does not provide any information about the distance or time it takes for the stone to fall, which are necessary for calculating velocity.

2. Can you estimate the velocity of the stone based on the picture?

No, it is not possible to estimate the velocity of the stone based on the picture alone. As mentioned before, the picture does not provide enough information to calculate velocity.

3. How does the velocity of the stone affect its impact?

The velocity of the stone does not directly affect its impact. However, a higher velocity means the stone is falling faster and will likely have a greater impact force upon hitting the ground.

4. What factors influence the velocity of the stone?

The velocity of the stone is influenced by the height from which it is dropped, the force of gravity, and any air resistance or other external forces acting on the stone.

5. How can I calculate the velocity of the stone?

To calculate the velocity of the stone, you will need to know the distance it falls and the time it takes to fall. You can then use the equation velocity = distance/time to calculate the velocity. Keep in mind that this is only an estimate, as factors such as air resistance may affect the actual velocity.
