Question

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally away from and below the point of release. What is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground?​

Answer 1

26.54 m/s  is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground

h=100m,v=20m/s,g=9.8m/s

time it takes to reach the ground,

$[t=\sqrt2h/g],[=\sqrt2*100/9.8=4.51s]$

x= 120m

t= 4.52

v= x/t

v= 120/4.52

v= 26.54 m/s

The "speed at which an object changes its location" can be expressed using a vector number called velocity. Consider a person who moves swiftly while taking two steps forward and two steps back while remaining in one location. Velocity is a vector quantity. Therefore, velocity is cognizant of direction. The direction must be taken into account when determining an object's velocity. A speed of 55 mph is not enough information. The direction must be used to appropriately depict the item's velocity. Simply said, the direction of the velocity vector indicates the direction of motion of an object.
