1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A marble is accelerated to a horizontal velocity of 0.50 m/s by rolling it down a small ramp. The marble rolls off the table, which is 0.78 m high. As it falls, it hits a barrier on the way down. If the barrier is 0.15 m from the edge of the table, at what height from the ground, h, will the marble hit the barrier?
2. Relevant equations
d = (Vi)(t) + 1/2(a)t/2
Vf =Vi + at
(Vf)2 = (Vi)2 + 2ad
3. The attempt at a solution
I wasn't really sure how to start it, but first I found the time it would take for the marble to fall off the table:
Using vertical components:
d = (Vi)(t) + 1/2(a)(t)2
-0.78 = (0)(t) + (1/2)(-9.8)t2
-0.78 = -4.9t2
t = 0.40s
I don't know if that ^ is right, and I'm not really sure what I should do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
