The question I am given is: "A basketball star covers 2.60 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball (see figure). His motion through space can be modeled as that of a particle at a point called his center of mass (which we shall define in Chapter 9). His center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. It reaches a maximum height of 1.80 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.850 m when he touches down again."

And i need to find the time of flight, the initial horizontal/vertical velocity, and angle.

However, I am pretty clueless how to find the total time. I figured x(final)=.5at^2 So sqrt((0.95*2)/a)=time, but 0.44, the answer i get (times two, so 0.88) isn't the overall hang time. Now i'm just completely lost.

Seriously, how many self proclaimed liberals actually know the definition of the word "treason" without looking it up in a dictionary.

I have seen numerous questions regarding Blackwater "treason"; George Bush "treason"; General Petreus "treason".

I really want to know what liberals consider treason or how they define it.

I don't care how long you are with your boyfriend/girlfriend or fiance - if you're not MARRIED or seeking info on DIVORCE, place your questions in the "singles and dating" category. Silly of me to complain, I know, but it's irritating sifting through these questions!

What do you think will be the fate of "Christians" who take this view? Do you take this view? Consider what Paul said about grace and sinning, and God commanding we be perfect and holy as He is. If you say that that is impossible, do you realize what you are saying about the Father? Search the Scriptures; be like the Bereans. God bless. Peace. I'm out!

Within an extremely short period of time, i have seen three cases of people being tasered by rowdy police officers. One, an autistic boy about to run into traffic. Another (and most rediculous if you ask me) 21 yr old in FL at a Kerry rally, gets tasered because in my opinion, he was too busy exercising his first amendment, which calls us completely legal to any words that come out of our mouth. Lastly, a woman tasered outside of a bar after being in a mini barfight. What has gotten into the law enforcement these days?

My aunt is 89 years old, she has never had a liscence before and she has no government issued pic id. She needs to get her birth certificate from TX, but they want a gov pic id, and when she goes to dmv, they tell her that they can't giver her one unless she has a birth certificate. How do we solve this? The birth certificate she has, is soo old that no one can see the writing, (it's from 1918!) It was legiable enough 35 years ago to get Social Security started. Another problem is we are in CA and we are dealing with everything over the phone in El Paso, TX. HELP!!!

I sprained my ankle while on active duty at AT two years in a row. I have LOD's for both of them. My ankle still bothers me. I would go see a civilian doctor, but I don't have any insurance. My unit says that the doctors cleared me and that if I went to see the Army doctor, they couldn't do anything for me. I never had a follow up the second time I injured it. And if it still hurts after the injury, I would think that it is still their responsibility. Does anyone know if I really have the right to see a doctor at the army's expense or at least the right to see one of their doctors. I have all the medical documents saying that I was injured on active duty.

OK, Wellstone could see through all the propaganda; others, GW Bush duped quite easily, noteably Kerry, Edwards and Hillary Clinton. We can't have it both ways, either Bush is stupid and can't fool anyone or he is highly intelligent, to have duped so many Democrats or those Democrats who he duped should not have college diplomas.
