In projectile motion problems, where an object is thrown (not horizontally) off of a cliff, does only the cliff's height matter to this equation:
[itex] y = v_y * (t) + (a * t^2)/2 [/itex]
What I'm confused about is the little bit of height gained by the object when it is first thrown off of the cliff. Is this height insignificant to the overall problem?
[itex] y = v_y * (t) + (a * t^2)/2 [/itex]
