    30º above the horizontal with initial velocity problem

    Ooh sinθ is with it. So vyi = 14.7, which would mean t = 1.5 After that I tried using the dx = vx * t equation but that didn't work. What is the formula to solve for horizontal distance?

    30º above the horizontal with initial velocity problem

    Sorry that this is going to seem hopeless but I just started taking an online course... What exactly does Vyi stand for? I thought it was the initial velocity in the vertical direction but that must be wrong

    30º above the horizontal with initial velocity problem

    Okay so my new attempt is Vyf = Vyi + AyT 0 = 29.4 + -9.8t -29.4 = -9.8t 3 = t So my time is 3, now just don't know what equation to use

    30º above the horizontal with initial velocity problem

    Homework Statement A basketball player throws a ball at an angle of 30º above the horizontal. If the ball in has an initial velocity of 29.4 m/s, how far does it travel? Homework Equations Vyf^2 = Vyi^2 + 2(Ay)(Dy) solve for Dy and get [Vyf^2 - (Vyi^2)] / (2(Ay)) = Dy The Attempt at a...
