The piece of paper has less mass and will glide down the window, whereas the textbook will go straight to the ground. Since the textbook has more mass and less ways of it being able to 'glide' the textbook will hit the ground first.
Answer:
Distance, d = 0.1 m
It is given that,
Initial velocity of meson,
Finally, the meson is coming to rest v = 0
Acceleration of the meson, (opposite to initial velocity)
Using third equation of motion as :
s is the distance the meson travelled before coming to rest.
So,
s = 0.1 m
The meson will cover the distance of 0.1 m before coming to rest. Hence, this is the required solution.
consider the motion along the horizontal direction :
v₀ = initial velocity in horizontal direction as the ball rolls off the table = 3.0 m/s
X = horizontal displacement of the ball = 2.0 m
a = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²
t = time taken to land = ?
using the kinematics equation
X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
2.0 = 3.0 t + (0.5) (0) t²
t = 2/3
consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction
v₀ = initial velocity in vertical direction as the ball rolls off the table = 0 m/s
Y = vertical displacement of the ball = height of the table = h
a = acceleration along the vertical direction = 9.8 m/s²
t = time taken to land = 2/3
using the kinematics equation
Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
h = 0 t + (0.5) (9.8) (2/3)²
h = 2.2 m
C 2.2 m
