Projectile Motion problem 35


A small ball is thrown horizontally with a speed of . It falls through a vertical height of before bouncing off a horizontal plate.




Air resistance is negligible. For the ball, as it hits the horizontal plate,


  • state the magnitude of the horizontal component of its velocity,


  • show that the vertical component of the velocity is .
