In projectile motion lab, you fired a projectile out of your launcher vertically up at 5.0 m/s. Assume the projectile leaves the launcher's barrel at 1.15 m above the floor and has a tiny horizontal velocity so it could clear the launcher on its way down and hit the floor, how long will it take to strike the floor? Ignore air drag. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.
