I got it! I forgot about the Quadratic Formula, thanks guys for the help.

Sorry about the picture

I got 8.15 not 8.13 oops

I still don't understand what do I do next? I tried dividing both sides by 4.905 and get t = 8.15, then I square rooting 4.905 which gives me 24.05 then tried dividing both of them again but this time with 24.05 which gave me t = 1.66. I feel retarded

But that still doesn't make sense because when you divide afterwards it still doesn't give you the answer.

Wouldn't you just 0.5 * 9.81 + 0 = 4.905t2. Then that would give you 40 = 4.905t2

It mentions about rearranging the equation but I don't think it shows you. Do you know what it would look like if it was rearranged? If so please show me.

This is a worked problem, so they're just basically giving examples on how you would solve this type of problem. My issue is... how did they get 2.86s? Please someone help this has been driving me crazy.

Hello, I really want a major in Computation Physics but I don't think my University has a class. Should I instead go into a double major in Computer Science & Physics? Or should I go into physics at all? I live in Iowa so it's not the best location for jobs in physics.
