A ball rolls across a lab table at 1.80 m/s, eventually rolling over the edge of the table. It hits the floor 0.55 s later. a) Draw a motion diagram for the ball. Include a few points where it is rolling on the tabletop, then show it until it reaches the floor. It should be clear how the ball's velocity is changing, and along which direction(s). Also include coordinate axes. b) How far did the ball move horizontally before landing? (i.e., how far from the edge of the table does it hit the floor?) c) How high above the floor is the table top? d) What was the ball's speed when it hit the floor?

Firstly a motion diagram for the ball would depict the balls motion along a straight line while it is rolling on the table followed by a parabolic tra... View the full answer
