I need to find Vsub0 to be able to calculate h....but how do I get Vsub0???
Answered by mssailormouth
is it -9.80 x 3.21= -31.458 is Vsub0??
Answered by mssailormouth
h=151.47m??
Answered by Damon
the initial speed is zero. It was dropped, not thrown.
Answered by mssailormouth
accck ok so

1/2(9.80)(3.21)^2= 50.5 m
Answered by Damon
(1/2)(9.81)(3.21)^2 = 50.5 meters

I'm learning slowly but surely!
Answered by Damon
more formally
h = Hi + Vi t - 4.9 t^2
0 = Hi + 0 - 4.9 t^2
Hi = 4.9 *3.21^2 = 50.5
