Question

Transcribed Image Text:A golf ball is hit with an initial velocity of 135 feet per second (about 92 miles per hour) at an angle of 60
degrees to the horizontal. There is a 5 foot-per-second headwind that reduced the horizontal velocity by that
amount. The vertical component of velocity is unaffected.
