A ball is rolled off the edge of a horizontal table at a speed of 
. It hits the ground
after 0.4 s. Which statement given below is true
A
It hits the ground at a horizontal distance 1.6 m from the edge of the table
B
The speed with which it hits the ground is 
C
Height of the table 1 m
D
It hits the ground at an angle of 
to the horizontal
to the horizontal
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Vertical component of velocity of ball at point P
Horizontal component of velocity 
initial velocity
So, the speed with which it hits the ground
and 
It means the ball hits the ground at an angle of 
to the horizontal.
Height of the table, 
Horizontal distance travelled by the ball from the edge of table
