Homework Statement
A ball is shot from a slingshot and clears a 10 meter fence 130 meters from the point of being flung and lands 10 meters behind the fence. What is the initial velocity of the ball? Assume the ball was caught at the same level it was kicked (delta Y=0).
Homework Equations
Delta Y=Voyt+1/2at^2
Delta Y=Vfy^2-Voy^2/at
Delta X=Voxt
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm unsure how to solve this problem as it involves multiple unknown variables. I think it involves 2 separate problems, one that is up to the fence and one that is after the fence. So 130=Voxt and 140=Voxt. For Delta Y, it would be Voy=4.9t. Please help :(
