Baseball thrown at 45° travels 296 ft - finding initial speed and flight time
Ok here's where I got to. I used V^2=Vi^2+2a(90.2m) (296ft to 90.2m) This gives me a Vi of 42.05 m/s correct?? Now I take that 42.05m/s and get the X component and get 29.73 m/s and use formula X=ViT+.5T^2 This gives me 90.2=29.73 T+ .5T^2 So, Ill have T^3= (29.73+90.2)*2 ...- mimsteel

Baseball thrown at 45° travels 296 ft - finding initial speed and flight time
Ya like i split it into X and Y components. And i have that. I just don't have a time. So I am not sure which formula to use from there. So like X=209.3 and the Y= 209.3 as well.- mimsteel
