Question

I throw a ball to my dog at h = 1.8 m above the ground, with initial
velocity v0 = 10.25 m/s at an angle θ = 31° above horizontal. Assume the ball
encounters no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the
origin located at the ball's initial position.
a. My dog jumps up in the air and catches the ball at the same height that I
threw it. Create an expression for the time, tf, the ball is in the air in
terms of v0, θ, g, and h. 
b. Calculate the horizontal distance, d in meters, between me and my dog
