Answer:
The initial vertical velocity is zero, u = 0 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
height of the table, h = 0.55 m
horizontal distance traveled by the tennis, x = 0.12 m
Apply the following kinematic equation;
h = ut + ¹/₂gt²
where;
u is the initial vertical velocity = 0, since the tennis ball rolled off the edge of a table.
h = ¹/₂gt²
The time to fall from the vertical height is given by;

The initial horizontal velocity of the tennis is given by;
x = vₓt
vₓ = x / t
vₓ = (0.12) / (0.335)
vₓ = 0.358 m/s
Therefore, the initial vertical velocity is zero, u = 0 m/s and initial horizontal velocity, vₓ is 0.358 m/s
Answer:
<em>The power generated is = 5.33×10⁸ Watt. </em>
Explanation:
Power: Power can be defined as the time rate of doing work. The S.I unit of power is <em>Watt(W).</em>
<em>Mathematically,</em>
<em>Power (P) = Work done/time or Energy/time</em>
P = mgh/t............................... Equation 1
P = δgh............................. Equation 2
Where δ = fall rate, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.
<em>Given: </em>δ = 1.1×10⁶ kg/s, h = 49.4 m g = 9.81 m/s²
Substituting these values into equation 2
P = 1.1×10⁶×49.4×9.81
P = 533.08×10⁶
<em>P = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.</em>
<em>Thus the power generated is = 5.33×10⁸ Watt. </em>
