A ball is rolling on a table and leaves the end side of the table with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. The table is 0.70 m high and the ball has a mass of 0.850 kg. What's the speed of the ball when it hits the ground?

What equation should I use?

1 answer

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*h

Vo = 0 = Vertical component of initial
velocity.
g = 9.8 m/s^2
h = 0.70 m.
Solve for V in m/s.

Note: The mass of the ball does not
matter.
