"Angel Falls in southeastern Venezuela is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world, dropping 979 m (3212 ft). Ignoring air resistance, it would take 14 s for the water to fall from the lip of the falls to the river below. If the water lands 50 m from the base of the verti-cal cliff, what was its horizontal speed at the top"

Answer:

The value  is [tex]v  = 3.57 \  m/s [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The depth  is  [tex]d =  979 \  m[/tex]

   The time taken for water to fall to below the river is  [tex]t =  14 \ s[/tex]

   The  horizontal distance from the base of the vertical cliff is  [tex]h  =  50 \  m[/tex]

     Generally  the horizontal speed at the top is mathematically represented as

         [tex]v  =  \frac{h}{t}[/tex]

=>      [tex]v  =  \frac{  50}{ 14 }[/tex]

=>     [tex]v  = 3.57 \  m/s [/tex]
