Question

From the window of a building, a ball is tossed from a height y0 above the ground with an initial velocity of 9.00 m/s and angle of 21.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 4.00 s later.

(a) If the base of the building is taken to be the origin of the coordinates, with upward the positive y-direction, what are the initial coordinates of the ball? (Use the following as necessary: y0. Assume SI units. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.)
xi =
 
 
 
yi =
 
 
 

(b) With the positive x-direction chosen to be out the window, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity.
vix =  m/s
viy =  m/s

(c) Find the equations for the x- and y-components of the position as functions of time. (Use the following as necessary: y0 and t. Assume SI units.)
x =
 
 
 
 m
y =
 
 
 
 m

(d) How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground?
 m

(e) Find the height from which the ball was thrown.
 m

(f) How long does it take the ball to reach a point 10.0 m below the level of launching?
