The speed of the ball at 1.0 s is given by:
[(20 m s–1)2 + (9.8 m s–1)2] ½ = 22.3 m s–1

A bowling ball of mass 7.5 kg travelling at 10 m s–1
A golfer practising on a range with an elevated tee
rolls off a horizontal table 1.0 m high. (Assume the

e With what speed will the ball strike the 24° to the horizontal,
ground? where the angle is determined from

A1. d x = ut + 0.5at2
a x = ut + 0.5at2 and 1.0 m = 0 + 0.5(9.8 m s–2)t2

d After 0.80 s, the ball has two components of
velocity:
vx = 20 m s–1
and vy = 0 + (9.8 m s–2)(0.80 s) = 7.84 m s–1
The speed of the ball at 0.80 s is given by:
