A ball is rolled horizontally off a table with an initial speed of 0.24 m/s. A stopwatch measures the ball's trajectory time from table to the floor to be 0.30 s. What is the height of the table? (g = 9.8 m/s^2)

Step 1
We know that the ball is falling under the influence of gravity, so we can use the equation of motion that relates distance, initial velocity, time, and acceleration due to gravity. The equation is: d = vt + 0.5gt^2. Show more…

A ball is rolled horizontally off a table with an initial horizontal speed of 0.24 m/s. The tabletop is 0.44 m above the floor. The vertical component of the velocity of the ball hitting the floor is 2.94 m/s. How far away from the table does the ball land? (g = 9.8 m/s2 and air resistance is negligible) A: 0.072 m B: 1.9 m C: 0.055 m D: 1.2 m

A ball is projected horizontally from the edge of a table that is 0.808 m high, and it strikes the floor at a point 1.45 m from the base of the table. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. What is the initial speed of the ball? Answer in units of m/s. How high is the ball above the floor when its velocity vector makes a -24.5046° angle with the horizontal? Answer in units of m.

A ball rolls off a horizontal table at $0.30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and strikes the ground $0.15 \mathrm{~m}$ horizontally from the base of the table. (a) How high is the table? (b) If another ball rolls off the same table at $0.60 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s},$ how far from the base of the table does it hit?
