Question
A projectile is thrown from the top of a tall building with a height of 74.4 m with an initial velocity of 24.7 ms in the horizontal direction. What will be the magnitude of the angle, in degrees, of the projectile’s velocity with respect to the +x-axis immediately before striking the ground? Round your final answer to 1 decimal place for the angle in degrees.
