Pedro and Joanna decide to try a problem.

A baseball is thrown from the top of a tall building with an initial velocity of 10 m/s from a height of h = 10.5 m above the ground.

Find its speed when it reaches the ground if its launch angle is

7°.




Find its speed if it is launched horizontally.
vf =  m/s
