    Projectile Motion (Ball thrown against a Wall)

    Your vyo of 14.4436 m/s is correct. So use that plus your t= 1.04 to find vy and y. I am wondering why you are making the assumption that the ball hits the wall on the way down? If you find vy at time t, you will see that it is going much slower then when it was first release but it is...

    What is the impact velocity of a projectile launched from a cliff?

    Hey chrisfnet, You found your initial vxo and vyo correctly, the problem you are making is that you are giving your vyo a negative value when you use y = y0 + vyo + 1/2(a)(t)2 formula. If you set the problem up so that up is positive and to the right is positive when projectile is launch...
