1. A physics book slides off a horizontal table top with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350 s. Ignore air resistance. Find (a) the height of the table top above the floor, (b) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the book's velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the book reaches the floor. (d) Draw x-t, y-t, and graphs for the motion.

Ignore air resistance. Find (a) the height of the table top above the floor; (b) the horizontal distance from
the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; (c) the horizontal and vertical
components of the book's velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the book
reaches the floor. (d) Draw x-t, y-t, and graphs for the motion.
