Yes... Hello..... I can help you.

OpenStudy (christos):

thaanks :D

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Idk. It just looks like a regular time value to me. To differentiate it from time of flight, since it's only half the time.

OpenStudy (goformit100):

it seems to be the chapter of PROJECTILE ?

OpenStudy (christos):

hm I have no idea lol

OpenStudy (btaylor):

It looks like it is the time to reach the max height, as it says in the line right above the arrow.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

^ that.

OpenStudy (christos):

So the asterisk is because it is reaching the max height ?

OpenStudy (btaylor):

yep.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

It's just to show it's not the total time of flight.

OpenStudy (christos):

I see, thanks

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it's just time. it's like how velocities have subscripts, this one just uses a superscript to distinguish it from other time

OpenStudy (goformit100):

wait I am doing the calculations.

OpenStudy (goformit100):

* there shows the special case.

OpenStudy (goformit100):

relate it with the formula :- v = u + at
