Problem 4-11 - Free fall - Part 2 - (B)

A ball is thrown from a balloon with an initial unknown velocity. The ball accelerates at $9.80\;m/s^2$ downward for $2.00\; s$, at which time its instantaneous velocity is $24.0\; m/s$ at an angle of $45.0^\circ$ below the horizontal. Determine the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity.

Accumulated Solution

$v = v_0 + at$

No. $v$ is the final velocity, and that is given.
