A football quarterback is moving straight backward at a speed of 2.11 m/s when he throws a pass to a player 17.1 m straight downfield. The ball is thrown at an angle of 20.3 relative to the ground
and is caught at the same height as it is released. What is the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback? (Assume downfield to be in the +x-direction. Enter the magnitude in m/s and the
direction in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis)

A football quarterback is moving straight backwards at a speed of 2.9m/s when he throws a pass to a player 22 m straight downfield. The ball is thrown at an angle of 21 degrees relative to the ground and is caught at the same height as it is released. What is magnitude of the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback in m/s? What angle above the horizontal does the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback make? Give your answer in degrees.
A golf ball is hit with an initial velocity of 50.0 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees above the horizontal. If the golf ball lands on the same horizontal level, determine the time it takes the ball to stay in the air.
