A toy truck rolls off of table with a horizontal velocity of 0.35 m/s. It takes 1.27 s for the toy truck to hit the ground 0.4 m from the edge of the table. What is the height of the table?

Respuesta :

The height of the table is 7.9 m.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to analyze the vertical motion of the toy truck.

In fact, the object is in free fall along the vertical direction - it is acted upon gravity only - so we can use the following suvat equation:

[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

where:

s is the vertical displacement

u is the initial vertical velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Here we have, choosing downward as positive  direction:

u = 0

[tex]a=g=9.8 m/s^2[/tex]

t = 1.27 s

Therefore, we can find s, which corresponds to the height of the table:

[tex]s=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1.27)^2=7.9 m[/tex]
