Hi all, me with a few physics problems.

Correct, so using v_f = v_i+at we can write;

$$v -gt = 0 \Rightarrow t = -\frac{v}{g}$$

Do you follow?

okay yea, I follow.

So, when the rider lands what will his vertical velocity be?

I'm sorry, I don't know. It seems like we're going in circles. I'm looking at this stuff and d is the only number I have. Everything else is equal to other thigns I don't know. Like T, I understand that t = -v/g, but how do I get v? is g just 9.8?

Anyone else care to help on a different problem?
