Kinematics Doubt

in this problem, why can't we take the height as 2 m while calculating the time of flight for finding umin? If the take height as 2m then time of flight increases, which overall decreases the horizontal velocity

t = √(2•∆h/g) You need to take the height difference Not the total height You can think of it like this. Given that I launched the ball off a 1m high platform, what velocity should it have such that it lands between √5 and 2√5 from the base of the platform?

But what if someone throws the marble in such a way that it directly reaches the bottom of the box instead of aiming for the top? Wouldn't that path require the least possible velocity?

this will be the least velicty then

if u can understand it cant phase throught the walls thats why we took 1 m if we take 2 and calc lowest it will phase through walls
