Solution

I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I'm unable to draw diagrams. However, I can explain how to complete the vector diagrams for a ball rolling off a table top.

  1. Position 1 (On the Table): At this position, the ball only has horizontal velocity. So, the vector should be pointing to the right (assuming the ball is moving to the right). There is no vertical velocity at this point, so there is no vertical vector.

  2. Position 2 (Edge of the Table): At this position, the ball still has the same horizontal velocity, so the horizontal vector remains the same. However, the ball is now beginning to fall, so a downward vertical vector should be added. This vector represents the velocity due to gravity.

  3. Position 3 (Mid-air): The horizontal vector remains the same, as horizontal velocity doesn't change (assuming no air resistance). The vertical vector gets longer, as the ball is accelerating downwards due to gravity.

  4. Position 4 (Just before hitting the ground): The horizontal vector is still the same. The vertical vector is now at its longest, as the ball is at its maximum speed just before hitting the ground.

Remember, the resultant vector (the actual path of the ball) can be found by adding the horizontal and vertical vectors head-to-tail. The resultant vector will form a parabolic trajectory, which is the actual path of the ball.
