Hey Rei! During our Ms. Ramos, I overheard your concerns. Do you want me to explain it to you more clearly?
That's so nice of you, Kei. In a real-life situation, I'm not sure how projectile motion works.
Kei demonstrates how projectile motion works by throwing a ball over a cliff.
11 m
and the horizontal displacement is distance the ball traveled, 11 m. While the time when the ball landed is 3.07s.
7.5 m
Now let's try to know how fast the ball before it reach the water.
The height from where I throw the ball is the vertical displacement, 7.5 m.
Now let's substitute the given in the formula and try to identify its velocity.Vix =  dx                             t      Vix =  11 m           3.07s          
Ah! Ms. Ramos taught us the acceleration formula, which I remember. It's dx = Vixt        Vix = dx t        t      or           t
The coolest part is it's an example of projectile motion! The ball follows a parabolic path of motion.
So I just need to divide the horizontal displacement and time. So... is it 3.58 m/s?
Yes, you are correct! Isn't it basic? I'm not convinced why you dislike this topic so much, Rei.
Geez! Science is everywhere! Kei, thank you for teaching me. Let's get going before it gets dark.
