Answer to Question #333865 in General Chemistry for myths

Question

A rock is thrown horizontally from a height of 88 m high with a horizontal speed of 25 m/s. WHAT IS THE FORMULA TO BE USED IN finding time?

Answer 1

Equations for the Horizontal Motion of a rock: t = x/v_ix where x is horiz. displacement, v_ix is initial horiz. velocity

Equations for the Vertical Motion of a rock:

t = √y/0.5•a_y where y is vert. displacement, a_y is vert. acceleration
