The assignment regarding the lab from yesterday: qx003. What velocity does the ball therefore attain, in the direction perpendicular to its original straight-line path, as a result of the magnet?

`qx004. Assume the ball was close enough to the magnet to have its motion significantly influenced for a distance of 5 centimeters. How long did it take for the ball to travel this distance?

My question is how do we determine the velocity perpendicular to the original. Also, wouldn't the time it took the ball to drop still be .4 s? I'm at a standstill with this portion until I figure out these 2 questions.
Also, I emailed earlier, but the Chapter 6 problems, are they the same as those listed on the assignment page?

I sent out an email with the Ch 6 problems. Thought it was posted previously, but apparently not.
The time of fall is still assumed to be .4 seconds. If I recall correctly the ball landed a few centimeters from its original line, as measured perpendicular to that line. So you would divide that distance by the .4 seconds to get the ball's average velocity in the direction perpendicular to the original line.
