The motion of the ball is a composition of two motions:
- on the x (horizontal) axis, it is a uniform motion with initial velocity v_x = 1.0 m/s
- on the y (vertical) axis, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with acceleration g= 9.81 m/s^2 

(a) to solve this part, we just analyze the motion on the vertical axis. The law of motion here is
y(t) = h - \frac{1}{2} gt^2
By requiring y(t)=0, we find the time t at which the ball reaches the floor:
h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0
t= \sqrt{ \frac{2h}{g} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 2.0 m}{9.81 m/s^2} }=0.64 s

(b) for this part, we can analyze only the motion on the horizontal axis. To find how far the ball will land, we must calculate the distance covered on the x-axis, x(t), when the ball reaches the ground (so, after a time t=0.64 s):
x(t) = v_x t = (1.0 m/s)(0.64 s)=0.64 m

If a 2 cm vector represents speed, and 1 cm equals 5 m/s, how fast is the represented
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 10m/s

Explanation: Since a single vector with length of 1cm expresses 5m/s, the vector which has a length doubled from the original vector should have the speed which is also doubled.

If an athlete leaps vertically at 4.0m/s, what maximum height does he reach?
joja [24]
Hello
This is a problem of accelerated motion, where the acceleration involved is the gravitational acceleration: g=-9.81~m/s^2, and where the negative sign means it points downwards, against the direction of the motion.

Therefore, we can use the following formula to solve the problem:
v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2gS
where v_i=4~m/s is the initial vertical velocity of the athlete, v_f=0 is the vertical velocity of the athlete at the maximum height (and v_f=0~m/s at maximum height of an accelerated motion) and S is the distance covered between the initial and final moment (i.e., it is the maximum height). Re-arranging the equation, we get
S= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2g}=0.82~m

Why is. A paper clip attracted to a magnet, while a pencil is not?
Akimi4 [234]
The paper clip did because it is a conductor. A pencil is made with wood and that is an insulator.

This one question is on fotoeletric effect. Does the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons from metal depends on the intensity
grandymaker [24]
Energy of one photon = kinetic energy of photoelectron + work function energy of metal.
Intensity of radiation is proportional to the number of photons arriving per second
