Physics Problem Proof With Friend

[Tom McCurdy]

We are trying to decide if this is true
we are trying to prove that t
equals

t= \sqrt{ \frac{2Vo^2}{g}}
however we think the teacher may have misspoke and it should be
t= \frac{Vo\sqrt{2}}{g}




Vosin45-gt=0

Vosin45=gt

t= \frac{Vosin45}{g}

since you need to muliply by 2 since its only time up and you need time up and down

t= \frac{\frac{2V_0\sqrt{2}}{2}}{g}

t= \frac{2V_0\sqrt{2}}{2g}

t= \frac{Vo\sqrt{2}}{g}

As you may have noted, your prof.'s units don't add up, so his answer MUST be wrong!

[Tom McCurdy]

YES! I am happy, I got yelled at by my friend when I suggested that he was wrong.... we will see who is laughing at the end
