Question

A cat yaks a fur ball outward from the edge of a flat roof. The fur ball lands 0.75 s later on the ground a horizontal distance of 1 m away from the edge of the roof. What was the horizontal velocity of the fur ball?

Answer 1

The horizontal velocity : vox = 1.33 m/s

Further explanation

Given

time 0.75 s

distance = 1 m

Required

the horizontal velocity

Solution

vox = horizontal velocity

x = distance

Can be formulated :

x = vox . t

Input the value :

1 m = vox . 0.75s

vox = 1 : 0.75

vox = 1.33 m/s
