Hi there,
See the attached file for equations and solution. It is scanned at high resolution for good printing. If you can't see it on your screen too good, then zoom in or print it out.
First I found the time it ...
Solution Summary
This solution uses the equations for the y-direction y=(1/2)at^2 + v(initial)t + y(initial) and the x-direction x = (1/2)at^2 + v(initial)t + x(initial). Calculation, answers and a diagram are included.
