Back on Earth, a ball is thrown off a roof top with a horizontal velocity 8 m/s and a downward vertical velocity 5 m/s. It hits the ground 2.2 s later. What is the direction at which the ball hits the ground? Give the angle the velocity vector makes with vertical (straight down = 0° and horizontal = 90°). Use g = 9.8 m/s if needed and neglect air friction. Read carefully -- there are versions of this question with upward vertical velocity and another with downward vertical velocity.

For this problem think about a long jumper who takes off and lands from different heights. This is due to the Center of Gravity being higher when they leave the ground then when they contact the sand. If the jumper has a horizontal distance traveled of 7.5 meters and an initial horizontal velocity 6.1 m/s and a takeoff angle of 30 degrees. How far did the jumper fall vertically from takeoff to landing?
