A glass marble, rolling at 1.0 ms−1 along a table top, reaches the edge of the table and falls to the floor. The height of the table top is 1.0 m above the floor. Ignore any effects due to air friction and use g=10 ms−2 .
a. a Sketch a simple diagram to show the path that the marble takes after it leaves the table top until it hits the floor.
b. b Explain the shape of the path you have drawn by considering the horizontal and vertical components of the marble's velocity.
c. c Calculate the time it takes for the marble to reach the floor after it leaves the edge of the table.
d. d When the marble hits the floor, calculate how far from the edge of the table the marble has travelled.
