Homework Statement
A ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 7.90m/s at an angle of 21.9deg below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 2.95s later.
Calculate the height from which the ball was thrown.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
y=y0+vy0t- 1/2gt^2
vy0=sin21.9 deg*7.9m/s=2.9466m/s
0=y0+2.9466m/s(2.95s)-(1/2)(9.8m/s^2)(2.95s)^2
y0=33.95m
could anybody tell me where have done wrong?
