What is 0m/s and same as initial velocity, respectively?
The equation derived from the definition of average velocity.
What is d = vavgt ?

What is 3 sec?
How long does it take for the ball to reach the ground in the set up below:
A ball is launched off of a tower that is 8m high. It starts out with a horizontal velocity of 4m/s and a vertical velocity of 6m/s.
What is 2 sec?
The type of problem where you need to pay particular attention to the signs of acceleration, velocity, and distances.
What are problems where the vertical velocity is upward?
The equation to calculate the average velocity based on the initial and final velocities
What is vavg = (v + vo)/2 ?
The time it will take for a ball launched horizontally with a speed of 12m/s to reach the ground if the platform it is launched is 11.25m high.
