Question
Part 1: How do you determine a balls time of flight given the balls initial height from the floor as it leaves a ramp, and its initial verticals velocity? That is how long it takes to hit the floor! Part2: How far horizontally, R, will the ball travel during its free fall motion?

Part2: How far horizontally, R, will the ball travel during its free fall motion? Part2: How far horizontally, R, will the ball travel during its free fall motion?Explanation / Answer
Time of flight use s=ut+1/2gt
where s is the vertical height and t is the time it takes the ball to reach maximum height.
Time it takes to hit the floor is 2t
Use v=u+gt to find initial velocity, where v= 0 at maximum height
Horizontal distance R=V(2t) where v is the velocity of the ball
