Question

Transcribed Image Text:In the figure here, a small, solid, uniform ball is to be shot from point \( P \) so that it rolls smoothly along a horizontal path, up along a ramp, and onto a plateau. Then it leaves the plateau horizontally to land on a game board, at a horizontal distance \( d \) from the right edge of the plateau. The vertical heights are \( h_1 = 3.5 \, \text{cm} \) and \( h_2 = 1.70 \, \text{cm} \). With what speed must the ball be shot at point \( P \) for it to land at \( d = 4.5 \, \text{cm}? \)
**Diagram Explanation:**
- **Ball Path:** The diagram shows a ball at point \( P \) on a flat surface, represented by a horizontal line. An arrow next to the ball indicates the direction of the ball's movement.
- **Ramp:** The path then curves upward to form a ramp leading to a higher level, on a plateau.
- **Plateau:** The plateau is a flat horizontal section following the ramp.
- **Vertical Heights:** Two vertical measurements are indicated:
- \( h_1 = 3.5 \, \text{cm} \) is the height of the plateau from the base level.
- \( h_2 = 1.70 \, \text{cm} \) is the height drop from the plateau edge down to the landing point.
- **Horizontal Distance \( d \):** A horizontal line labeled \( d \) marks the distance from the edge of the plateau to the landing point where the ball is supposed to land. This distance is given as \( d = 4.5 \, \text{cm} \).

- In the figure here, a small, solid, uniform ball is to be shot from point P so that it rolls smoothly along a horizontal path, up along a ramp, and onto a plateau. Then it leaves the plateau horizontally to land on a game board, at a horizontal distance d from the right edge of the plateau. The vertical heights are h, = 3.5 cm and h2 = 1.70 cm. With what speed must the ball be shot at point P for it to land at d = 4.5 cm? Ballarrow_forwardIn the figure, a solid 0.1 kg ball rolls smoothly from rest (starting at height H = 6.3 m) until it leaves the horizontal section at the end of the track, at height h = 2.0 m.
