The kinematic equations--namely, Sf = S0 + V0Δt
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
I am a bit confused as it seems this problem is very straight-forward.
My known variables:
X0 = 0m
Y0 = 1.7m
Δt = 3.92s
V0 = 29m/s
Θ = 60ο
Yf = ?
So, I just use the above equation for the y-component:
Yf = Y0 + V0y(Δt)
Yf = 1.7m + 29sin(60) * 3.92s
My final answer is in the hundreds, but the correct answer is 24.85m. Can someone steer me in the right direction, and also tell me why the equation I used doesn't work?
Thanks so much!
