Question 3 (1 point)

The initial vertical velocity is zero, u = 0 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

height of the table, h = 0.55 m

horizontal distance traveled by the tennis, x = 0.12 m

Apply the following kinematic equation;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

where;

u is the initial vertical velocity = 0, since the tennis ball rolled off the edge of a table.

h = ¹/₂gt²

The time to fall from the vertical height is given by;

The initial horizontal velocity of the tennis is given by;

x = vₓt

vₓ = x / t

vₓ = (0.12) / (0.335)

vₓ = 0.358 m/s

Therefore, the initial vertical velocity is zero, u = 0 m/s and initial horizontal velocity, vₓ is 0.358 m/s
