A baseball is hit with a speed of 30m/s at an angle of 42 degrees. It lands on the flat roof of a 14.m tall nearby buildining. If the ball was hit when it was 1.4 m above the ground, what horizontaldistance does it travel before it lands on the builiding?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Have I set the problem up right so far? a/g = 9.8 m/s^2, Vy0=30m/s sin(42)
theta = 42, y = -14,, Vx0= 20m/scos(42)

anonymous · Answer

oh and Vy0 and Vx0 are initial velocity components
