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
