First off, thank you for the swift reply. It seems that is the correct method of solving the problem, but I am curious as to when I can use the heat capacity of water. Is there a general guideline as to how concentrated a solution has to be before you can no longer say its heat capacity is...

Hello there, I am supposed to experimentally determine (with the use of a calorimeter) the overall heat of reaction per mole of calcium metal in two cases: 1. When I mix HCL, calcium and water in that order. 2. When I mix water, calcium and HCL in that order. In each case, I am...

Ah, I completely neglected the fact it was traveling down from its peak and so the y represents how far the basket is from the top of its height. Thanks to you both! (I feel silly for ignoring that negative sign for gravity now)

The problem: (Note: the correct answer is bolded throughout) A basketball is launched with an initial speed of 8 m/s at a 45 degree angle from the horizontal. The ball enters the basket in 0.96 seconds. What is the distance x and y? Just ignore the distance x, I know it's simply the product...
