can someone please help me??

OpenStudy (faiithhh):

If a ball is thrown off of a 123 m cliff at a speed of 18 m/s, how far from the base of the cliff is the ball?

OpenStudy (faiithhh):

I have to use the GUESS method...

OpenStudy (sapphiremoon):

That's Givens, Unknowns, Equation, Substitution, Solve, correct? (Not what my teacher called it)

OpenStudy (faiithhh):

yes, that's right

OpenStudy (faiithhh):

wait wait wait...

OpenStudy (sapphiremoon):

What? You got it?

OpenStudy (faiithhh):

i could use Yf -Yi= Vi(t) + ½(a)(t^2)

OpenStudy (faiithhh):

1.4 = 0(t)+1/2(9.8)(t^2)

OpenStudy (faiithhh):

which means my answer is .534 seconds, right?

OpenStudy (sapphiremoon):

Yep, I think so, and then plug t into a kinematic eq'n for x.
