Solution

The correct option is A It hits the ground at a horizontal distance 1.6 m from the edge of the table


Vertical component of velocity of ball at point P
vv = 0 + gt = 10 × 0.4 = 4 m/s
Horizontal component of velocity = inital velocity
vH = 4 m/s
So the speed with which it hits the ground
v = (vH2+vy2) = 42 m/s
and tan θ = vVvH =44 = 1 θ = 45
It means the ball hits the ground at an angle of 45 to the horizontal.
Height of the table h = 12 g t2 = 12 × 10 × (0.4)2 = 0.8m
Horizontal distance travelled by the ball from the edge of table h = ut = 4 × 0.4 = 1.6m
