Homework Statement
A child sitting in a tree throws an apple core from where he is perched (4 m high) with a velocity of 5 m/s [35 degrees above horizontal] and it hits the ground next to his friend.
How long before the core hits the ground?
Homework Equations
dy = vy(initial)t + 1/2at
quadratic eqn.
The Attempt at a Solution
Would I calculate the x-y components of the initial velocity then plug in the initial y velocity to the first aforementioned eqn then solve for t using the latter eqn?
