(a)  A hiker throws a ball at 21.0 above the horizon from a 21.0 m high hill. The hiker is 1.750 m tall. The magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical velocities are 14.004 m/s and 5.376 m/s, respectively. Find the distance from the base of the hill and the point where the ball hits the ground below the hill. (b) A track star in the long jump goes into the jump at 12 m/s and launches herself at 20.0° above the horizontal. How long is she in the air before hitting the ground? (c) A player kicks a football at a 30 angle with an initial 20.0 m/s velocity. Find the horizontal component of the velocity and the maximum height.
