Macmillan Learning Pool players often pride themselves on their ability to impart a large speed to a pool ball. In the sport of billiards, event organizers often remove one of the rails on a pool table to allow players to measure the speed of their break shots (the opening shot of a game in which the player strikes a ball with his pool cue). With the rail removed, a ball can fly off the table, as shown in the figure. The surface of the pool table is h = 0.750 m from the floor. The winner of the competition wants to know if he has broken the world speed record for the break shot of 32 mph (about 14.3 m/s). If the winner's ball landed a distance of d = 3.85 m from the table's edge, calculate speed of his break shot Up- Assume friction is negligible. 40= 9.87 At what speed u, did his pool ball hit the ground? U₁ = m/s m/s
