Solution

The correct options are
A

It hits the ground at a horizontal distance 1.6 m from the edge of the table


C

Height of the table is 0.8 m


(a,c)Vertical component of velocity of ball at point P
Vv =0+gt=10×0.4=4m/s
Horizontal component of velocity = initial velocity
VH = 4m/s


So the speed with which it hits the ground
v = v2R+v2v = 42m/s
and tanθ = VrVH = 44 = 1 θ = 45
It means the ball hits the ground at an angle of 45 to the horizontal.
Height of the table
h = 12gt2 = 12×10×(0.4)2 = 0.8m
Horizontal distance traveled by the ball from the edge of table h = ut = 4 × 0.4 = 1.6m
