1. What is the time-of-flight for a projectile for each of these following cases? Gravity is acting in the negative y-direction. a. A ball is thrown at 30° above the horizontal. It lands at Ax = 5m, Ay = 2m. b. A ball is thrown at 45° above the horizontal. It lands at Ax = 1m, Ay = -3m. c. A person throws a ball straight upward at 6 m/s. The person catches the ball at same elevation as it was thrown.

1. What is the time-of-flight for a projectile for each of these following cases? Gravity is acting in the
negative y-direction.
a. A ball is thrown at 30° above the horizontal. It lands at Ax=
b. A ball is thrown at 45° above the horizontal. It lands at Ax =
5m, Ay = 2m.
1m, Ay=-3m.
c. A person throws a ball straight upward at 6 m/s. The person catches the ball at same elevation
as it was thrown.
