Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Direction for Motion Parameters
  1. Time graph of \((x, y)\) is a diagonal line: This indicates a linear relationship between time and position, which is typical for uniform motion in the \(x\)-direction. Therefore, the direction is \(x\).

  2. Time graph of \((x, y)\) is a curve: A curved graph suggests acceleration, which is characteristic of motion in the \(y\)-direction due to gravity. Therefore, the direction is \(y\).

  3. Time graph of \((v_x, v_y)\) is a straight diagonal line: A diagonal line in a velocity-time graph indicates constant acceleration. Since horizontal motion (\(x\)) is typically constant velocity in projectile motion, this suggests the \(y\)-direction where acceleration due to gravity acts. Therefore, the direction is \(y\).

Step 2: Calculate the Horizontal Velocity \(V_x\)

For a horizontal launch, the horizontal velocity \(V_x\) can be calculated using the formula:

\[ V_x = \frac{\text{horizontal distance}}{\text{time}} \]

Given:

  • Horizontal distance = 4 m
  • Time = 0.3 s

\[ V_x = \frac{4 \, \text{m}}{0.3 \, \text{s}} = 13.3333 \, \text{m/s} \]

Step 3: Calculate the Table Height

The table height can be calculated using the formula for vertical motion under gravity:

\[ y = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \]

Where:

  • \(g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2\) (acceleration due to gravity)
  • \(t = 0.3 \, \text{s}\)

\[ y = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times (0.3 \, \text{s})^2 = 0.44145 \, \text{m} \]

Final Answer

  1. \((x, y)\) is a diagonal line: \(\boxed{x}\)
  2. \((x, y)\) is a curve: \(\boxed{y}\)
  3. \((v_x, v_y)\) is a straight diagonal line: \(\boxed{y}\)
  4. Calculate \(V_x\): \(\boxed{13.33 \, \text{m/s}}\)
  5. Calculate table height: \(\boxed{0.4415 \, \text{m}}\)
