With a combination of that site and peer help we were able to figure out what to do. I think we may have a little better understanding on dynamics. Thank you.

If your looking for the x displacement. It turns out the same either way. But yes, it is less than 1.5m/s. It's around .6, if I remember correctly. I plugged in gravity for the acceleration the second time but it's zero because their is no horizontal acceleration. Thank you very much for...

Thank you. x would really be the y displacement, which is .86m, correct? So time is .419 seconds... and would you plug that into the displacement & time equation? Which would give you 1.504 m/s as the initial velocity. Thank you for your help.

Question and Data What is the initial velocity of an object that rolls off a table and hits the floor below? Lab produced the following data: Table height: 86 cm Distance of object from table when it hits floor: 23 cm Relevant equations Instantaneous Speed: Vf = Vo + at [I think this is the...
