Concept:

Wave: It is the disturbance in which the energy is transferred from one place to another place. During the propagation of the wave, medium particles do not move. They vibrate at their position in to and fro form.

In case of the Transverse wave, medium particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave while in case of Longitudinal wave, they vibrate along the direction of the wave.

Hence, the best definition of the wave will be the disturbance that transfers the energy from one place to another place.

Una bola de acero rueda y cae por el borde de una mesa desde 4ft por encima del piso. Si golpea el suelo a 5ft de la base de la

ycow [4]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{10ft/s}}$

Explanation:

The question, translated, is:

A steel ball rolls and falls off the edge of a table from 4ft above the floor. If you hit the ground 5ft from the base of the table, what was your initial horizontal velocity?

<h2>Solution</h2>

This is a projectile motion, for which, the equations that you will need are:

$V_x_0= V_x=x\cdot t$

$y=y_0+Vy_o\cdot t-g\cdot t^2/2$

1. Calculate the time that it takes the ball to fall 4ft

$0=4ft-g\cdot t^2/2\\\\t^2=2\times 4ft/( 32.174ft/s^2)=0.24865s^2\\\\t=0.4986s$

2. Calculate the horizontal velocity:

$V_x_0= V_x=x\cdot t\\\\V_x_0=5ft/0.4986s=10.027ft/s\approx 10ft/s$
