Sorry for the confusion Tiny Tim. It sucks when you spend hours on a problem just to find you have made a simple rounding error. But thanks anyway for the help.
I think I did type it in wrong. For the initial I used.. work(non constant) = KE(f) - PE(i).
From this I solved for v in the KE(f). As far as the problem goes I think I am given all the variables except for v but I think my problem lies in the numbers I come up with for the work of the non...
Hey goaliejoe,
Your on the right track but use your time that you found (3.03) and plug that into the formula
Y = Yo - (1/2)at^2. Your y naught is the starting height.
