A ball thrown horizontally from the top of a building hits the ground in 0.600 s If it had been thrown with twice the speed in the same direction, it would have hit the ground in
Added by Donna D.
Step 1
- Time to hit the ground when thrown horizontally with initial speed \( v \) is \( t = 0.600 \, s \). - The ball is thrown horizontally, so the vertical motion is independent of the horizontal speed. Show more…

A ball thrown horizontally from the top of a building hits the ground in 1.00 s. If it had been thrown with twice the speed in the same direction, it would have hit the ground in a. 4.00 s b. 2.00 s c. 1.00 s d. 0.50 s e. 0.25 s

A ball is thrown horizontally from a building of height H and lands a distance d from the foot of the building after a time t. Ignore air resistance. If the building were twice as tall and the ball is thrown horizontally with the same initial velocity, the ball would have: A) landed a distance 2d from the foot of the building. B) reached the ground with twice the speed it did from the shorter building. C) been in the air a time 2t. D) been in the air a time t .

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60.0-m building and lands 100.0 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance. (a) How long is the ball in the air? (b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity? (c) What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the ball hits the ground? (d) What is the velocity (including both the horizontal and vertical components) of the ball just before it hits the ground?
