Question

A block slides off a horizontal table 1 m high with a speed of 3 m/s. Find the horizontal distance from the edge of the table at which the block strikes the floor:
(Take g = 9.8 m/s2).



 

Moderate
Solution

In the interval from O to B,  ux = 3m/s, uy = 0 m/s.
Now, sy = 1 m. As the initial velocity is horizontal, vertical component vy = 0
sy=uyt+1/2ayt2 1=0t+1/2gt2t=107s sx=uxt=3107m=AB
Which is the horizontal distance.
