Suppose that a ball is thrown vertically upward from earth with velocity v, and returns to its original height in a time t. If the value of g were reduced to g/6 (as on the moon), then t would:
My first instinct was to use the equation
change in y= vt + 1/2at^2
instead, the test says to use v = v + at
What should I change in my thinking to make sure that I know to use the second equation?
