I'm given a problem that says a rock hammer was thrown at an upward initial velocity of 4.8m/s and had an initial height of 1.8m.
The acceleration (on the moon) is 1.8m/s^2.
What is the maximum height the hammer will reach?
My initial thought is to find:
s(t) (location)
v(t) (velocity/s'(t))
a(t) (acceleration/v'(t)/s''(t))
The problem is with the information I've got:
s(0) = 1.8m
v(t) = 4.8 m/s (or 4.8/t ??)
a(t) = -1.6 m/s^2 (or -1.6/t^2 ??)
I'm not sure how to approach the problem. Any help is appreciated.
