Answer:

the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that we can study the motion of the baseball rolling off the table in vertical component and horizontal component separately.

Since the velocity at which the ball was rolling is entirely in the horizontal direction, it doesn't affect the vertical motion that can therefore be studied as a free fall, where only the constant acceleration of gravity is affecting the vertical movement.

Then, considering that the ball, as it falls covers a vertical distance of 0.7 meters to the ground, we can set the equation of motion for this, and estimate the time the ball was in the air:

0.7 = (1/2) g t^2

solve for t:

t^2 = 1.4 / g

t = 0.3779  sec

which we can round to about 0.38 seconds

No we use this time in the horizontal motion, which is only determined by the ball's initial velocity (vi) as it takes off:

horizontal distance covered = vi * t

0.25 = vi * (0.38)

solve for vi:

vi = 0.25/0.38  m/s

vi = 0.65798  m/s

Then the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s

A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. The projectile lands on a
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

51.96 m/s^-1

Explanation:

a) see the attachment

b) As we know the velocity of the projectile has two component, horizontal velocity v_ox. and vertical velocity v_oy as shown in the figure. At the highest point of the trajectory, the projectile has only horizontal velocity and vertical velocity is zero. Therefore at the highest point of the trajectory, the velocity of the projectile will be  

v_ox=v_o*cosФ

       =60*cos (30)

      = 51.96 m/s^-1
