Homework Statement
A marble, rolling with speed 20cm/s, rolls off the edge of a table that is 80 cm high. (a) How long does it take to drop to the floor? (b) How far, horizontally, from the table edge does the marble strike the floor?
Homework Equations
y = y0 + vy0t - (1/2)gt2
The Attempt at a Solution
Well I know that
Vx0 = 20cm/s
Vyo = 0
Xo = 0
Yo = 80cm
I've already plugged in what I know for this equation:
y= 80cm + 0 -(1/2)(9.81m/s)t^2
right now I am solving for (a) and I need to know in what order should I perform these order of operations so I get the right answer.
