The horizontal speed has no effect on the answer. 

It doesn't matter whether you flick a marble horizontally from the roof,
fire a high-power rifle horizontally from the roof, drive a school bus straight
off the roof, or drop a bowling ball from the roof with zero horizontal speed. 
Their vertical speed is completely determined by gravity, (and it happens to
be the same for all of them).

Handy dandy formula for the distance covered by anything that starts out
with zero speed and accelerates to the end:

            Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) x (time)²

If the beginning of the journey is on Earth, then the acceleration is
9.8 m/s² ... the acceleration of gravity on Earth.  We'll assume that
the 55-meter rooftop in the question is part of a building on Earth.

                       55 meters  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) x (time)²           

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :            55 m / 4.9 m/s²  =  (time)²

                                 (time)²  =  (55/4.9)  sec²

Square-root
each side:                time  =  √(55/4.9 sec²)

                                           =      3.35 sec  .

A positive point charge (q = +8.65 x 10-8 C) is surrounded by an equipotential surface A, which has a radius of rA = 2.97 m. A p
ella [17]

Answer:

r_B = 1.88 m

Explanation:

As we know that work done by electric force is given as

W_e = -q\Delta V

so here we know that charge is moving from

r_A = 2.97 m

to another position

so we will have

W_{AB} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_A} - \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_B}

-6.95\times 10^{-9} = (9\times 10^9)(8.65\times 10^{-8})(4.56\times 10^{-11})(\frac{1}{2.97} - \frac{1}{r_B})

-0.196 = (\frac{1}{2.97} - \frac{1}{r_B})

r_B = 1.88 m
