Kinematics Question 503
Question: A ball is rolled off the edge of a horizontal table at a speed of 4 m/second.It his the ground after 0.4 second.Which statement given below it’s true [AMU (Med.) 1999]
Options:
A) It his the ground at a horizontal distance 1.6 m from the edge of the table
B) The speed with which it his the ground it’s 4.0 m/second
C) Height of the table it’s 0.8 m
D) It his the ground at an angle of 60o to the horizontal
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Vertical component of velocity of ball at point P
Horizontal component of velocity = initial velocity
So the speed with which it his the ground
therefore
Height of the table
Horizontal distance travelled by the ball from the edge of table
