During a heated game of bocce ball, Ursula is attempting to knock the pallino (the small, white target ball) away from where her opponent's balls lie on the ground. She can do this by throwing her ball so that it lands directly on top of the pallino, which is x = 17 m horizontally downcourt from where she throws. If she releases the ball y = 0.90 m above the ground at an angle of 0 = 23° above the horizontal, then how much time will the ball spend airborne before hitting the pallino? Both balls may be treated as point particles in this problem.

During a heated game of bocce ball, Ursula is attempting to
knock the pallino (the small, white target ball) away from
where her opponent's balls lie on the ground. She can do
this by throwing her ball so that it lands directly on top of
the pallino, which is x = 17 m horizontally downcourt from
where she throws. If she releases the ball y = 0.90 m above
the ground at an angle of 0 = 23° above the horizontal,
then how much time will the ball spend airborne before
hitting the pallino? Both balls may be treated as point
particles in this problem.
