Problem 2-95 Linear Kinematics - Part 3 - (a)
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?
Accumulated Solution
\(y = v_{0^t} + (1/2)at^2\)
No. Since up is \(+\) then \(v_0\) and \(y\) are \(+\) and \(a\) is \(-\).
