A glass is slid across a table top, goes off the edge and falls to the floor. The table is 0.860m high and the glass lands 1.53m from the edge.
a)With what velocity did the glass leave the table top?
b)What was the direction of the glass's velocity(degrees clockwise from the horizontal)as it hit the ground?
For a) I believe that I have to find the x component of velocity.
xf=xi+vxit+.5axt^2 But I don't know the time either!
b) tan(0.860/1.53)= 29.3degrees
