    How Do You Calculate Initial Velocity in a Vertical Projectile Problem?

    The class is not at the point yet where we can use something like that; your method seems too advanced right now. Thanks for your reply though. Assuming I did that first part right, I get: y = y_0 + v_y - gt + \frac {1}{2} gt^2 Okay, so y = 56.5 m , and y_0 = 0? Also, how would I get v_y...

All horizontal factors are completely ignored and should not be included in the solutions or the procedures to get to the solutions. Phil wants to test his new potato launcher at the...
