Question

Can you use these velocity components, together with y and a = 9.8m / (s ^ 2) to obtain the time of flight, t? Write the expression. Hint: x = vot and replace t using y = 1/2 * g * t ^ 2

Expert Solution

Step 1: Understanding the question.

To obtain the time of flight, t, from the velocity components and y, we can use the following steps:

1. We are given that x = vot, where v is the initial velocity in the x direction and t is the time of flight. We can also use the equation y = 1/2 * g * (t ^ 2), where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
