four and half second

anonymous · Answer

Thank you but how do you set up the equation needed to solve for time, I have a test coming up soon and I want to get this down.

anonymous · Answer

Ok..let me tell you

anonymous · Answer

S=Vt
from this equation we can ...
t=S/V
t=225/50
t=4.5 seconds

anonymous · Answer

Ok thank you

anonymous · Answer

50 m/s is just for horizontal velocity

anonymous · Answer

welcome
