I don't think so. Thanks for the help!

I made an error when plugging the numbers into my calculator! Since gravity pulls objects downward wouldn't the negative sign indicate that the object was going upward?

v(0) = -2.232 m/s ?

Is it t= .96, Delta x = 9.81, and a = 2.195?

v0 = ( x(t)- (a/2)t^2 )/t ?

So I have to calculate the initial velocity of an object I dropped from 2.195 meters that took .96 seconds to hit the ground, given that the Earth's gravitational pull is 9.81m/s^2. What direction/step should I first take in order to solve this? I'm not asking for the answer just a step or two...
