Problem 6: A football is punted from the ground, it passes through the apex of its flight, and it begins its downward decent, as shown. When its height above the field is h = 1.4 m, the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity are observed to have the values vhortzontal = 16.5 m/s and vvertical = 2.25 m/s, respectively. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the initial position of the football. Ignore air resistance. Dhorizontal
