A juggler is performing an act by juggling several balls. The juggler throws the balls up at an initial height of 3.9 feet with a speed of 14.8 feet per second. If the juggler did not catch a ball, about how long will it take the ball to hit the floor?

Question

noo

lgbasallote · Answer

use the formula

v^2 = u^2 + 2ad

where v is final speed
u is initial speed
a is acceleration
d is distance <--you're solving for this
