[SOLVED] Made a small mistake and can't figure out what to do-->Projectile motion

Homework Statement


Ball is launched at 62 degrees above horizontal at 22 m/s. What distance does the ball travel?


Homework Equations



x=x0+vx0t


The Attempt at a Solution



x0=0
vy0=22 m/s
y0=0
theta=62
vy0=22sin62=19 m/s
vx0=22cos62=10 m/s

but I messed up on my time calculation
t=vy0/gravity.
that's not right. what's the correct time calculation?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
t=vy0/gravity.
that's not right. what's the correct time calculation?

this time is to reach the maximum height. Total time is twice this time.
 
ok, so i just need to multiply that value by 2? thank you.
