A marble rolls off a tabletop 0.70 m high and hits the floor at a point 3.5 m away from the table's edge in the horizontal direction.
(a)
How long (in s) is the marble in the air?
__________________________________________ s
(b)
What is the speed of the marble (in m/s) when it leaves the table's edge?
__________________________________________ m/s
(c)
What is its speed (in m/s) when it hits the floor?
__________________________________________m/s
The initial height of the marble,
The horizontal distance covered by the marble,
The marble rolls off the table in a horizontal direction, so initial vertical velocity,
(a) How long is the marble in the air?
Consider the vertical motion of the marble
Use formula
(a) ANSWER:
=========================
(b) What is the speed of the marble when it leaves the table's edge?
The marble rolls off the table in a horizontal direction, so initial vertical velocity,
Consider the horizontal motion of the marble
There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction, so horizontal velocity remains constant.
Horizontal velocity = Horizontal distance/time
----------------------
Initial velocity,
(b) ANSWER:
==========================
(c) What is its speed when it hits the floor?
Consider the horizontal motion of the marble
There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction, so horizontal velocity remains constant.
-------------
Consider the vertical motion of the marble
Use formula
-----------------------
Final velocity,
(c) ANSWER:
==========================
