    Distance Traveled by a Fired Projectile

    I've tried doing what you've said, but it's just ended up confusing me. I made the two equations you recommended, which are as follows: -H = 0 + 0(t) + 1/2(-9.8)t2 -H = -4.9t2 t = sqrt(H/4.9) D + 6.9 = 0 + (340)(t) + 1/2(0)(t2) D + 6.9 = 340t t = (D + 6.9)/340 I don't see any common...
