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,

An iceboat sails across the surface of a frozen lake with constant acceleration produced by the wind. At a certain instant the boat’s velocity is(6.30i^-8.42j^)m/s. Three seconds later, because of a wind shift, the boat is instantaneously at rest. What is its average acceleration for this 3.00sinterval?

A woman can row a boat at 6.40 km/hin still water. (a) If she is crossing a river where the current is 3.20 km/h , in what direction must her boat be headed if she wants to reach a point directly opposite her starting point? (b) If the river is 6.40 km wide, how long will she take to cross the river? (c) Suppose that instead of crossing the river she rows 3.20 km/h downthe river and then back to her starting point. How long will she take? (d) How long will she take to row3.20 km upthe river and then back to her starting point? (e) In what direction should she head the boat if she wants to cross in the shortest possible time, and what is that time?

In Fig. 4-54, a lump of wet putty moves in uniform circular motion as it rides at a radius of 20.0cmon the rim of a wheel rotating counterclockwise with a period of 5.00 ms .The lump then happens to fly off the rim at the 5 o’clock position (as if on a clock face). It leaves the rim at a height of h=1.20m from the floor and at a distance d=2.50 m from a wall. At what height on the wall does the lump hit?
