A golf ball is hit by a club off of a tee with a velocity of 15.0 m/s at 50.0 degrees above the horizontal. The hole (or cup) is on a green (flat level ground) that is 2.75 m above the tee where the golf ball was driven. The golf ball hits the green on its way down from its maximum height. (a) What is the maximum height above the tee that the ball reached on its way to the green? (b) What is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the green? (c) Include a complete diagram of the situation
