Question

1. 1. A roach that runs for its life because you try to hit it with your physics book runs off the horizontal tabletop with a speed of 0.578 m/s. It strikes the floor a horizontal distance 0.376 m away from the edge of the table. Ignore air resistance.
   
   Find the height of the table?
2. 2. A roach that runs for its life because you try to hit it with your physics book runs off the horizontal tabletop with a speed of 0.634 m/s. It strikes the floor a horizontal distance 0.261 m away from the edge of the table. Ignore air resistance. What will be the horizontal component of the roach's velocity just before it hits the floor?
3. What will be the vertical component of the roach's velocity just before it hits the floor?

Explanation / Answer

distance/speed = time = 0.456 s = t
vertical component of roach's speed = gt = 9.81(t)
