Because i did 2.1/0.25=8.4

Vocaloid:

you'll have to apply the kinematics equations in both directions to find the time and horizontal distance one moment

Vocaloid:

|dw:1516320025621:dw|

Vocaloid:

you can use equation 3 to find the time spent falling since we know: the vertical distance (delta x or rather, delta y) the initial velocity (which is 0 in the y-direction) and acceleration (which is -g) solve for t

zarkam21:

0.25=0

zarkam21:

2.1 would be the initial velocity right>

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid you can use equation 3 to find the time spent falling since we know: the vertical distance (delta x or rather, delta y) the initial velocity *** (which is 0 in the y-direction) *** and acceleration (which is -g) solve for t \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Vocaloid:

2.1 is the initial velocity in the x-direction, but we are thinking in terms of the y-direction only, so 0 is your initial velocity

zarkam21:

GOt it

zarkam21:

0.25=0+1/2(-98)t^2

zarkam21:

-9.8*

Vocaloid:

good (I didn't quite get the sign convention right, so let's let 0.25 = (1/2)(9.8)t^2 so t ends up being real not imaginary then solve for t

zarkam21:

0.23

Vocaloid:

good now, since t = 0.23 seconds is the time spent jumping, we use the x-direction velocity and time to calculate distance it's just distance = rate * time = 2.1 * 0.23 = 0.483 m (we rounded up a bit so B is your answer)

zarkam21:

Oh okay so me basically dividing was incorrect

Vocaloid:

yeah the reason why that doesn't work is that the height is vertical and the initial velocity is horizontal, so you can't just divide distance/time

zarkam21:

Got it

Vocaloid:

I'm probably going to log off soon, I'll probably be online tomorrow afternoon ish

zarkam21:

That is fine =) Thank you
