Calculating Flight Time
Let’s assume we see a velocity of 2 m/s off the ramp set at 45 degrees
- so Vx = V cos ? = 1.4m/s, and Vy = V sin ? = 1.4m/s
- The flight time is the time the ball takes to go up to its highest point and come back down
- what fact about Vy will help us here?
- at the highest point Vy is zero
