Question
A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 61.7 m building and lands 114.1 m from the base of the
building. Ignore air resistance. (Assume the ball is thrown in the +x direction. Choose up to be +y direction
from the top of the building.)
Hint
a) How long (in s) is the ball in the air?
b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity (in m/s)? (Indicate the direction of
with the sign of your answer.)
S
c) What must have been the vertical component of the velocity (in m/s)just before the ball hits the ground
? (Indicate the direction of vertical component with the sign of your answer.)
