CHAPTER 5 Motion in a Plane I s 5.1 PROJECTILE MOTION 5.1 A marble with speed 20 cm/s rolls off the edge of a table 80m high. How long dost it take to drop to the oor? How far, horizontally, from the table edge does the marble strike the floor? I Choose downward as postive with origin at edge of table top. tants 2em/s v0 a =4g=4980em/s* a, ‘Te fad tine of fll, y = vg + Hg? oF SO. = 0+ (49D cn/s")?, = 040s, The hurizontal distance is gotten from x = vat = (20 cm/5)(6.40s) =8.0cm. 52 How fast must a ball be rolled along a 70-cm-high table so that when it rolls off the edge it will strike the floor at this same distance (70em) from the point directly below the table edge? Fin the horizontal problem, x = v,t gives v, = 0.70/. Inthe vertical problem, choosing down as positive, vo=0, y= 0.7m, and a=9.8mm/s. Use these values in y= vot +ar/2 to give 1= 0.3785. Then v, = 1,85 m/s. 53° A marble traveling at 100cm/s rolls off the edge of a level table. If it its the floor 30cm away from the spot directly below the edge ofthe table, how high i the table? I This is a projectile problem with vy =100em/s. For the horizontal motion: Sa vat 301000 1=0.305 For the vertical motion: 5, Vat + Jar” = 0+ 1(980)(0.30)" = 4.1m cheight of the rable) $4 Inan ordinary television set, the electron beam consists of electrons shot horizontally at the television sereen with a speed of about $ > 10" m/s.
