1 (a) A ball is launched from the ground toward a tall wall of a building at initial speed v0 = 21 m/s at an angle of 39 degrees relative to the horizontal. The wall is at a distance of 29 m from the launch point. What is the magnitude of the ball's velocity vector as it hits the wall?
Your answer should be in m/s, but enter only the numerical part in the answer box.
(b) A ball is launched from the ground toward a tall wall of a building at initial speed v0 = 27 m/s at an angle of 41 degrees relative to the horizontal. The wall is at a distance of 39 m from the launch point. What angle does the ball's velocity vector make with respect to horizontal as it hits the wall? [Note: a negative answer means the ball is moving on a downward angle. Be sure to enter the correct sign!]
Your answer should be in degrees, but enter only the numerical part in the answer box.
In order to calculate the magnitude of final velocity of the ball, we have to calculate the x and y component of initial velocity and then we can take the magnitude of velocity.
