A student launches an elastic ball from the ground level directly toward a tall vertical wall. After the first launch, the ball bounces off the wall and then hits the ground. The student notices that the launch point is equidistant from the landing point and from the wall. The student then moves the launching point 20 m in the direction perpendicular to the wall and launches the ball again. After the ball bounces off the wall and lands, the student...
