Answer:

The time taken for the ball to hit the floor as 1.02 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given question, the ball leaves at a speed from the table with an initial velocity of 10 m/s, we have the equation


\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}+\mathrm{at}

where Vf represents the final velocity

Vi represents the initial velocity

a represents the acceleration and

t represents the time


\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}+\mathrm{at} after rearranging


\mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{vf}-\mathrm{vi}}{a}


\mathrm{t}=(0-10)/(9.8) = 1.022 seconds
