Problem 2-95 Linear Kinematics - (c)

A camera is set up to take photographs of a ball undergoing vertical motion. The camera is \(5.2\; m\) above the ball launcher, which can launch the ball with an initial velocity of \(17 \;m/s\) upward. Assuming that the ball goes straight up and straight down past the camera, at what times will the ball pass the camera?

No. \(v_0\) and g are in opposite directions so their signs must be opposite.

Try again.
