In a Mythbusters stunt, a basketball is launched from the top of a 100.0 m tall building at an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s [15.0° above the horizontal]. The ball flies through the air and passes through a small window on a second building which is located 80.0 m away. Assume that air resistance can be ignored. What was the height of the window in the second building? What was the velocity of the ball as it passed through the window?
