Question
**Problem Statement:**

A smart ball, with a speedometer, is kicked with an initial speed of 37.0 m/s, then follows a projectile trajectory as shown. The speedometer recorded that the ball's lowest speed along its trajectory (at the highest point) is 28.0 m/s. What is the ball's initial launch angle measured in degrees?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram provided illustrates a projectile motion scenario:

- The ball is kicked from the origin.
- It follows a curved, parabolic trajectory.
- The highest point on the trajectory is labeled where the ball's speed is 28.0 m/s.
- The initial speed of the ball at the origin is labeled as 37.0 m/s.
- The coordinate axes are labeled \(x\) for the horizontal direction and \(y\) for the vertical direction.

The trajectory starts with the ball moving upward and to the right, reaching a peak, and then descending.
