A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 8 m/s. It takes 1.4 seconds for it to reach the floor. Use the approximate value of g as 10 m/s2 to solve the following problem: What is the vertical component of the ball’s velocity just before it hits the floor? (Use g = 10 m/s2.)

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

neither accurate nor precise.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west

what is the actual question though?
