PLEASE HELP You drop a large rock from a 19 story building. It is 78 meters high. The wind is blowing from the southwest at 3.5 m/s.

What is the initial velocity of the rock?
How long will it take to hit the pile of leaves that are sitting below?

here you go :)

Explanation:

I was thinking southwest was in 3 dimensions. But i guess it is in 2 dimensions in the plane. So like the user below said, it wont have an effect on the time it takes to reach the ground. Initial velocity of rock is zero, and solving 0 = -1/2 * 9.8 * t^2 + 78,  gives me t = 3.9897828696  or about  t= 4.0 seconds

thermal energy is the answer

answer; how far out of place which the object finished relative to the starting location;
