Agolf ball rolls off a horizontal cliff with an initial speed of 11.4 m/s. the ball falls a vertical distance of 17.7 m into a lake below. (a) how much time does the ball spend in the air? (b) what is the speed v of the ball just before it strikes the water?

time is 1.90 second

speed is 21.83 m/s

Explanation:

given data

initial speed u = 11.4 m/s

distance s = 17.7 m

to find out

time and speed

solution

we know formula for time that is

time = √2S/g     1

here s is distance so put all value

time = √2(17.7)/9.8

time = 1.90 second

and

for speed formula is

speed = √(u1²+u2²)    2

here horizontal velocity  u1 = 11.4 m/s

and vertical velocity u2 = gt = 9.8×1.90 = 18.62 m/s

so from equation 2

speed = √(u1²+u2²)

speed = √(11.4²+18.62²)

speed = 21.83 m/s

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
