A ball rolls off the edge of a table top 1.0m high and strikes the floor at a point 15m horizontally away from the edge of the table. Find (a) the time of flight, (b) the initial velocity, and (c) the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the ball just before it strikes the floor. Also, draw a diagram.

          A ball rolls off the edge of a table top 1.0m high and strikes
the floor at a point 15m horizontally away from the edge of the
table. Find (a) the time of flight, (b) the initial velocity, and
(c) the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the ball just
before it strikes the floor.
Also, draw a diagram.

Step 1

So, we can ignore the horizontal motion for now. We can use the equation of motion: h = 0.5gt^2, where h is the height, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t is the time. Solving for t gives us t = sqrt(2h/g) = sqrt(2*1/9.8) = 0.45 seconds. (b) Show more…
