Problem 4-11 - Free fall - (B)

A ball is thrown from a balloon with an initial unknown velocity. The ball accelerates at \(9.80\;m/s^2\) downward for \(2.00\; s\), at which time its instantaneous velocity is \(24.0\; m/s\) at an angle of \(45.0^\circ\) below the horizontal. Determine the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity.


No. We are given no distance information so this equation is not immediately useful.
