Homework Statement
A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building and lands 20.0m away from it. If the ball is initially thrown at a velocity of 10.0m/s, how high is the building? How long does it take for the ball to reach the ground?
Homework Equations
dv = Viv * t + 1/2a * t
The Attempt at a Solution
dh (horiz.distance) = 20.0m
Vh = 10.0m/s
Viv (vertical init. velocity) = 0m/s
a = -9.8m/s
dv (vert. distance) = ?
t = ?
I'm confused because I'm missing two of the variables which are needed in the equation that will solve this problem...? (dv and t)
