Chapter 4: Q22P (page 85)

A small ball rolls horizontally off the edge of a tabletop that is1.20m high. It strikes the floor at a point1.52m horizontally from the table edge. (a)How long is the ball in the air? (b)What is its speed at the instant it leaves the table?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Time of flight of the ball is0.495s

(b) Speed of the ball at the instant it leaves the table is3.07m/s

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The height of the table top isy=1.20mand the distance between the table edge and floor isx=1.52m

02

To understand the concept of kinematic equation

This problem is based on kinematic equations that describe the motion of an object with constant acceleration. Using these kinematic equations, the range of the object and the time for which object is in the air can be found.

Formula:

The displacement in kinematic equation can be written as,

03

(a) to find the time of the flight

Vertical height of the table top is givenby

Therefore, time of flight of the ball is0.495s

04

(b) to find the distance between the table edge and floor

It is given that,

Suppose that a shot putter can put a shot at the world-class speed15.00m/sand at a height of2.160m. What horizontal distance would the shot travel if the launch angleθois (a)45.00°and(b)42.00°? The answers indicate that the angle of45°, which maximizes the range of projectile motion, does not maximize the horizontal distance when the launch and landing are at different heights.

In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the spike is difficult. Suppose a ball is spiked from a height of2.30mwith an initial speed oflocalid="1654581187572" 20.0m/sat a downward angle oflocalid="1654581198810" 18.00°. How much farther on the opposite floor would it have landed if the downward angle were, instead,localid="1654581212383" 8.00°?

In Fig. 4-55, a ball is shot directly upward from the ground with an initial speed of V0=7.00m/s. Simultaneously, a construction elevatorcab begins to move upward from the ground with a constant speed of Vc=3.00m/s. What maximum height does the ball reach relative to (a) the ground and (b) the cab floor? At what rate does the speed of the ball change relative to (c) the ground and (d) the cab floor?

A watermelon seed has the following coordinates:x=-5.0m,y=8.0m, andz=0m. Find its position vector (a) in unit-vector notation and as (b) a magnitude and (c) an angle relative to the positive direction of thexaxis. (d) Sketch the vector on a right-handed coordinate system. If the seed is moved to thexyzcoordinates(3.00m,0m,0m), what is its displacement (e) in unit-vector notation and as (f) a magnitude and (g) an angle relative to the positivex direction?
