Question

. A tennis ball rolls off the lab bench with an initial velocity of 3.0 m/s. The top of the lab bench is 1.5 m above the floor. How long will the tennis ball be in the air before it hits the ground

Answer 1

Answer:

${ \huge{s}} = ut + \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2} \\ 1.5 = 3t + \frac{1}{2} \times 10\times {t}^{2} \\ 1.5 = 3t + 5 {t}^{2} \\ 5 {t}^{2} + 3t - 1.5 = 0 \\ t = 0.3 \: seconds$
