quarterback throws a pass that is a perfect spiral. In other words, the football does not wobble, but spins smoothly about an axis assing through each end of the ball. Suppose the ball spins at 8.3 rev/s. In addition, the ball is thrown with a linear speed of 14 m/s at n angle of 52° with respect to the ground. If the ball is caught at the same height at which it left the quarterback's hand, how many evolutions has the ball made while in the air? Number i Units
