Homework Statement
A ball is launched at an angle of 38° at 16m/s off of the top of a building, the ball finally hits the ground after 45seconds. What is the height of the building? Gravity is normal 9.80m.s squared. The answer to the problem is 9480m.
Homework Equations
I just needed a starting point. I wasn't sure really where to go with the problem.
The Attempt at a Solution
First i tried to find Vy by 16.0m/s * sin(38°) and got a value of 4.741m/s. I then plugged it into the equation Δy=VyiΔt+1/2gΔtsquared but the answer came out to around 10,000.
