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.

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.
