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

When light of frequency equal to 2.40 × 1015 s−1 shines on the surface of silver metal, the kinetic energy of ejected electrons
sesenic [268]

Answer: 9.98 *10^-19 J

Explanation: In order to explain this probelm we have to consider the balance enegy for photoelectric effect.

h*f-W=Ek where h is the Planck constant and W the work function and Ek the kinetic energy. f is the frequency of light.

W=h*f-Ek=6.62*10^-34*2.4*10^15-5.9*10^-19=9.98*10^-19J

How do you increase mechanical energy
mariarad [96]

Answer:

If an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential energy will increase; and if the speed (not the velocity) of the object changes, the kinetic energy of the object also changes.

Explanation:

Hope i explained that clearly...  :)
