Thanks everyone for helping with my last question. Here's another one...(I'm actually in a Physics class, not just asking for "s and g." My TA for the class doesn't have a clue what she's talking about.)
A rock is thrown off the edge of a sea cliff. 3.2 seconds later you hear the sound of the rock hitting the ocean. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, how high is the cliff.
This question is baffling me because for the life of me I can't escape the feeling that there is not enough information to solve the problem. I don't need the answer; if someone could just help me with which equation to use to solve it.
Thanks a bunch...
Jason
