A blue person throwsan object with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 37 degrees. A green person stands 15 meters in front of the blue person and throws an object straight up. Assume that both objects are thrown from the same initial elevation. a) if the green person throws their object with an initial speed of 20 m/s at what time should they throw it strikes the other object while it is traveling upward? measure this time relative to when the blue person throws their object?
A water balloon slingshot launches its projectiles essentially from ground level at a speed of 25.0 m/sm/s. (You can ignore air resistance.)
a) At what angle should the slingshot be aimed to achieve its maximum range?
b)If shot at the angle you calculated in Part A, how far will a water balloon travel horizontally?
c)For how long will the balloon be in the air?
Could you please help me to A) find the magnitude of the initial velocity of the baseball, B) Find the magnitude of the velocity of the baseball just before it strikes the building, and C) Find the direction of the velocity of the baseball just before it strikes the building (expressed in degrees below the horizontal). Thank you so much! I don't even know how to begin.
