A ball with a horizontal speed of 1.25 m/s rolls off a bench 1.00 m above the floor.

How long will it take the ball to hit the floor?

The ball falls from 1 meter above the floor.

s = 1/2 g t²
g = 9.81 (acceleration of gravity )
t² = 2s/g

= 2.00/9.81

= 0.2

√0.2
= .452 s

 

How far from a point on the floor directly below the edge of the bench will the ball land?

Horizontally Distance = speed x time

speed = 1.25 m/s

time = .452 s

= 1.25 x .452

= .565 m
