C?
Because i did 2.1/0.25=8.4

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

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
0.25=0
2.1 would be the initial velocity right>

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
GOt it
0.25=0+1/2(-98)t^2
-9.8*
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
0.23
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)
Oh okay so me basically dividing was incorrect
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
Got it
I'm probably going to log off soon, I'll probably be online tomorrow afternoon ish
That is fine =) Thank you
