Question
A certain juggler usually tosses balls vertically to a height $H$. To what height must they be tossed if they are to spend twice as much time in the air?
Step 1
From the equation of motion, we can write $y = v_i t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 = 0$. Solving this equation, we find that the time of flight $t = \frac{2v_i}{g}$. This is our equation 1. Show more…
