Question
A ball rolls off the top of a step ladder with a horizontal velocity of $10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. If the steps are $1 \mathrm{~m}$ high and $1 \mathrm{~m}$ wide, the ball will just hit:(a) 3rd step(b) 20 th step(c) 12 th step(d) 10th step
Step 1
Each step is $1 \mathrm{~m}$ high and $1 \mathrm{~m}$ wide. We need to find out which step the ball will hit. Show more…

A ball rolls off the top of a stairway horizontally with a velocity of $4.5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. Each step is $0.2 \mathrm{~m}$ high and $0.3 \mathrm{~m}$ wide. If $g$ is $10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$, then the ball will strike the edge of $n$ th step where $n$ is equal to a. 9 b. 10 c. 11 d. 12
A ball rolls horizontally off a staircase with an initial velocity u and just manages to hit the 10th step. If the length of each step is 20 cm and the height is 10 cm, what is the initial speed of the ball?
A ball rolls off top of a staircase with a horizontal velocity $u \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. If the steps are $h$ metre high and $b$ mere wide, the ball will just hit the edge of nth step if $n$ equals to (a) $\frac{h u^{2}}{g b^{2}}$ (b) $\frac{u^{2} 8}{g b^{2}}$ (c) $\frac{2 h u^{2}}{g b^{2}}$ (d) $\frac{2 u^{2} g}{h b^{2}}$
