Calculating the Final Velocity of a Thrown Ball

[berkeman]

Great, thanks! The equation I used, or a different one?

The distance versus time equation that I re-summarized in post #25...

Okay, I see it now. Thanks! I'll post my answer soon.

 

[Medgirl314]

y(t)=y0+viy∗t+(0.5∗ay)∗t2
y(3.2s)=0+0*3.2+(0.5)(-9.8y)*10.24
y(3.2s)=3.2s+(0.5)(9.8y)*10.24sIs that right so far? What's next?

I have no idea what you wrote. Could you please narrate what you are trying to do?

I'm not really sure. I was trying to plug in everything I know into the equation from post #25. It went horribbly wrong.
