Answer:
7.328m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
height of table = 0.68m
final velocity of the ball = 6m/s
Unknown:
Initial velocity of ball = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we are going to employ the appropriate motion equation.
We must understand that this fall occurs in the presence of gravity;
V = U + 2gH
Where;
V is the final velocity
U is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity
H is the height of the pool table
Since U is the unknown, let us make it the subject of the expression;
U = V - 2gH
U = 6 - (2 x 9.8 x 0.68) = 7.328m/s(deceleration)
