# In a lab experiment, a ball is rolled down a ramp so that it leaves the edge of the table with a horizontal velocity v. If the table has a height h above the ground, how far away from the edge of the table, a distance x, does the ball land? You may neglect air friction in this problem.

In a lab experiment, a ball is rolled down a ramp so that it leaves the edge of the table with a horizontal velocity \(v\). Assume there are no frictional forces. If the table has a height \(h\) above the ground, how far away from the edge of the table, a distance \(x\), does the ball land?

- **A.** \(\frac {2v^2}{g}\)
- **B.** \(v \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\)
- **C.** \(\frac{2vh}{g}\)
- **D.** \(\frac{2h}{g}\)
- **E.** none of these
