Rolling Ball off a ramp
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Given the following variables find how far the ball will land away from the point it leaves the ramp to the point it hits the ground. Vertical: Delta X= 1m Velocity Final= ? Velocity Initial= ? Acceleration= -10 m/s^2 t= ? Horizontal: Delta X= ? <- Objective Velocity Final=? Velocity Initial= ? Acceleration= 0 m/s^2 t=? 2. Relevant equations Delta X= Vi(t) + (1/2)a(t^2) Vf^2= Vi^2 +2a(deltaX) 3. The attempt at a solution No idea where to start... I can't figure out how to solve for the Velocity. Once I get that I can get the distance for the horizontal direction. 4. Additional Notes the ramp can be view by my crappy picture below \ ` ._______________________________ ***The Ball starts at the tip of the ramp*** The picture of the ramp |
