Question

In the figure, a ball is thrown leftward from the left edge of the roof, at height h above the ground. The ball hits the ground 2.10 s later, at distance d = 26.0 m from the building and at angle θ = 65.0° with the horizontal. (a) Find h. (Hint: One way is to reverse the motion, as if on videotape.) What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle relative to the horizontal of the velocity at which the ball is thrown (positive angle for above horizontal, negative for below)?

**Question 6**

**Current Attempt in Progress**

In the figure, a ball is thrown leftward from the left edge of the roof, at height \( h \) above the ground. The ball hits the ground 2.10 s later, at a distance \( d = 26.0 \) m from the building and at an angle \(\theta = 65.0^\circ\) with the horizontal. 

(a) Find \( h \). (*Hint: One way is to reverse the motion, as if on videotape.*) What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle relative to the horizontal of the velocity at which the ball is thrown (positive angle for above horizontal, negative for below)?

### Diagram Explanation

The provided diagram illustrates the following:

- **Initial Position:** The ball is thrown from the left edge of the roof.
- **Trajectory:** The ball travels leftward and downward, making an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal.
- **Dimensions:**
  - **\( d \):** Horizontal distance from the building (26.0 meters).
  - **\( h \):** Vertical height from the roof to the ground.
- Labels indicating the following variables:
  - \( \theta \): Angle of projection (65 degrees).
  - \( d \): Horizontal distance covered by the ball (26.0 meters).
  - \( h \): Height from which the ball is thrown.

### Solution Entry

(a) 
- Number: [           ] 
- Units: [           ]

(b) 
- Number: [           ] 
- Units: [           ]

(c) 
- Number: [           ] 
- Units: [           ]
