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

vV=0+gt=10×0.4=4m/s

Horizontal component of velocity = initial velocityvH=4m/s

So the speed with which it his the ground v=vH2+vV2=42m/s and tanθ=vVvH=44=1

therefore θ=45 It means the ball his the ground at an angle of 45 to the horizontal.

Height of the table h=12gt2=12×10×(0.4)2=0.8m

Horizontal distance travelled by the ball from the edge of table h=ut=4×0.4=1.6m
