A quarterback passes a football from height h = 2.1 m above the field, with initial velocity v0 = 11.5 m/s at an angle θ = 31° above horizontal. Assume the ball encounters no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position.
a. create an expression for the football's horizontal velocity , vfx, when caught by a receiver in terms of v0, θ, g, and h.
b. The receiver catches the football at the same height as released by the quarterback. Create an expression for the time, tf, the football is in the air in terms of v0, θ, g, and h.
c. The receiver catches the ball at the same vertical height above the ground it was released. Calculate the horizontal distance, d in meters, between the receiver and the quarterback.
