A marble rolls off horizontally from the edge of table top 1.50 m above the floor. it strikes the floor 2.0 m from the base of the table. (a) how long does it take the marble to reach the floor? (b) What is its initial speed? please help me masters(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

a. t=0.553 s

b. vox(horizontal speed) = 3.62 m/s

Further explanation

Given

h = 1.5 m

x = 2 m

Required

a. time

b. vo=initial speed

Solution

Free fall motion

a. h = 1/2 gt²(vertical motion=h=voyt+1/2gt²⇒voy = 0)

t = √2h/g

t = √2.1.5/9.8

t=0.553 s

b. x=vox.t(horizontal motion)

vox=x/t

vox=2/0.553

vox=3.62 m/s

Firstly, the water in the dams hold gravitational potential energy as they are above ground level. the gravitational potential energy is then transferred to kinetic energy as it falls, spinning the turbinethe turbine then spins the generator, which is a large magnet surrounded by metal coils. by doing this, the generator generates electricity. in this action, the energy transfer taken place is kinetic to electric energy
