Question

A marble is thrown horizontally with a speed of 7 m/s. When the marble lands, it hastraveled a horizontal displacement of 30 m. How much time was the marble in the air?

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 4.28 s

Explanation:

The horizontal speed of a marble = 7 m/s

The horizontal displacement covered by the marble = 30 m

We need to find the time for which the marble is in air. Let the time is t. Using the formula for speed to find it as follows :

$s=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{s}\\\\t=\dfrac{30\ m}{7\ m/s}\\\\=4.28\ s$

So, it will in the air for 4.28 s.
