A marble with speed 20 cm/s rolls off the edge of a table 80 cm high. How far horizontally from the table edge does the marble strike the floor? (answer in $cm$ and take $g = 10 m / s^{2}$ )

Solution

Height from which the marble falls $H = 80 cm = 0.8 m$ and
Speed of the marble $u = 20 cm/s = 0.2 m/s$
Time taken by the marble to strike the floor $T = \sqrt{\frac{2 H}{g}}$
$= \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.8}{10}} = 0.4 s$
Horizontal distance from the table edge at which the marble will strike the floor
$R = u \times T = 0.2 \times 0.4$
$= 0.08 m = 8 cm$

Height from which the marble falls H=80 cm=0.8 m and Speed of the marble u=20 cm/s=0.2 m/s Time taken by the marble to strike the floor T=√2Hg =√2×0.810=0.4 s Horizontal distance from the table edge at which the marble will strike the floor R=u×T=0.2×0.4 =0.08 m=8 cm
