Question 1201051: I have a word problem here, and I sucessfully got the first part, but I need help with the second part, please. Since the second question ties into the first, I included both, including my answer to the first.
I'm taking Kepler (the dog) on a walk and we run into a garden fence that is 0.31 meters high. Kepler jumps over it and barely gets over the top (his max height is 0.31 meters). Using 10 m/s^2 for gravity how long does it take him from jump to landing (hang-time)? < When Kepler hits the top of his jump at the height of the garden fence, what is his velocity?

Thank you in advance for helping me understand how to do this.

Regarding the second question,  we can only say that the dog's vertical component of the velocity is zero
at the upper point.


But we know  NOTHING  about the dog's  horizontal component of the velocity.


THEREFORE,  it is not possible to give a complete answer to the posed question.
