Studying for the MCAT, and trying to figure out how t = sqrt(2h/g) and t = Vo*sqrt(2h/g) is derived from the standard translational motion equations.
h = change in h
t = change in t
thus...
h = Vot + 1/2g(t)^2
h - Vot = 1/2g(t)^2
(2h)/g - (2Vot)/g =t^2
sqrt(2h/g) - sqrt(2Vot)/g = t
Obviously, I don't know how to simplify it further.
Thanks.
