Simple Physics Problem - Afeared - 2012-10-04 I am taking AP Physics right now. The thing is, my teacher is really stupid, doesn't know physics, and missed the first 6 weeks of school because of her kid. This problem should be easy, I just don't know how to solve it. A person throws a ball straight up in the air at 1.5 m/s. The ball lands 4 m below where it was originally thrown. How long is the ball in the air? Thanks. Simple Physics Problem - Corn - 2012-10-04 You know the equations of motion? Namely: Simple Physics Problem - Afeared - 2012-10-04 Nevermind lol... Edit: Just to make sure I'm right here, is the answer 1.62 seconds? Simple Physics Problem - Marksman Bryan - 2012-10-04 x-x0 = v0*t + 0.5*a*t^2 -4 = 1.5t - 4.9t^2 I'm getting 1.07s Simple Physics Problem - AngelSL - 2012-10-08 What are you told to use for gravitational field strength? The answer could differ by quite a bit depending on what you use.
