Question

A very small steel marble is shown rolling at a constant speed on a horizontal table. The marble leaves the table at P, falls, and hits the ground at M. This is illustrated in the diagram below which is drawn to scale. Calculate the time it took the marble to travel from L to M.

Roll and Drop 1 Points:1 A very small steel marble is shown rolling at a constant speed on a horizontal table. The marble leaves the table at P, falls, and hits the ground at M. This is illustrated in the diagram below which is drawn to scale. Calculate the time it took the marble to travel from L to M E 40 30 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 x (in cm)

Explanation / Answer

d1 = (40 cm - 10 cm) = 30 cm = 0.3 m

d2 = (60 cm - 40 cm) = 20 cm = 0.2 m

h = 60 cm = 0.6 m

h = 1/2gt^2

t(pm) = sqrt(2h/g)

t(pm) = sqrt[(2*0.6)/9.81]

t(pm) = 0.35 sec is time to fall from heigth h

Vo = d2/t(pm)

Vo = 0.2 m / 0.35 sec

Vo = 0.571 m/s is the horizontal velocity

t(LM) = (d1 + d2) / Vo

t(LM) = (0.3 + 0.2) / 0.571

t(LM0 = 0.875 sec

Is the time to travel from L to M
