Q- Using kinematics, you will be asked to calculate the initial velocity of the projectile by measuring the vertical drop, h, and the horizontal distance from the launcher, d, assuming the initial direction of the displacement is horizontal. Using the equations: x_f = x₀ + v_x0t and y_f = y₀ + v_y0t – 1/2gt², derive an expression for this initial velocity in terms of h and d only (no other variable in the expression).

Solution:
