In a preseason game on August 21, 2009, A. J. Trapasso punted a ball that struck the newly installed high-definition JumboTron at Cowboys Stadium. The 600-ton JumboTron was located 130 ft above the field. The ball traveled 15 yd horizontally before striking the JumboTron. Assume the ball barely makes it up 130 ft. and find the vertical velocity component vy,0. Round the final answer to four decimal place. Determine the total time of the ball’s journey (including both rise and fall).
