    Basic Physics Question

    :O I just figured something out... Don't know if I am on the right track but let me know: If i solve for v0 in equation x=x0 + v0t, then i can sub that into the other equation?

    Basic Physics Question

    you said i left out the vertical displacement at time, so that would be y in the case of this equation y = y0 + v0y*t - 1/2*g*t^2 , and y is 53 m ?
