Question
of the chute, just before it goes into free fall, the ball has a
centripetal acceleration of magnitude 2 class="mathjax_preview">gstyle="border-left: 0em solid; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0.963em; vertical-align: -0.333em;">style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; height: 2.4em;">style="display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 0.003em;">title="g" id="mathjax-span-4" class="mi">title="g" id="mathjax-hitbox-3" class="mathjax_hitbox">id="mathjax-span-3" class="maction">id="mathjax-span-2" class="mrow">style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1.773em, 1000em, 2.79em, -0.544em); top: -2.4em; left: 0em;">style="display: inline-block; position: relative; width: 8px; height: 0px; font-size: 125%;">id="mathjax-span-1" class="math">.
How far from the bottom of the chute does the ball land?
Explanation / Answer
v^2/R = 2g
=> v = sqrt(2gR)
to reach ground in vertical direction:
d = ut+0.5*a*t^2
=> 2*R = 0 + 0.5*g*t^2
=> t = 2*sqrt(R/g)
in horizontal direction:
d = u*t = sqrt(2gR)*2*sqrt(R/g) = 2*R*sqrt(2)
