A ball is shot from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 18 m/s at an angle θ = 43° above the horizontal. If a nearby building is the same height and 61 m away, how far below the top of the building will the ball strike the nearby building? ( Choose upward as the positive y-direction and express the displacement with the sign of the result, which must be in units of meters and include 1 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.80 m/s2.)

Question

A ball is shot from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 18 m/s at an angle θ = 43° above the horizontal. If a nearby building is the same height and 61 m away, how far below the top of the building will the ball strike the nearby building? ( Choose upward as the positive y-direction and express the displacement with the sign of the result, which must be in units of meters and include 1 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.80 m/s2.)
