    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 ...

    Baseball thrown at 45° travels 296 ft - finding initial speed and flight time

    So, I need to solve for time before i can get the Vi correct?

    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.

    Baseball thrown at 45° travels 296 ft - finding initial speed and flight time

    If someone could tell me what formula to use so i can start to try to figure this out. Not looking for a full solution just where to start off

    Bicyclist's displacement, velocity, and acceleration over 30 seconds

    Homework Statement At one instant a bicyclist is 40.0m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 10.0m/s. Then 30.0s later, the cyuclist is 40.0m due north of the flagpole going due east with a speed of 10.0 m/s. For the cyclist in this 30.0s interval what are the A.)...
