A ball is thrown from a building's upper-story window. At an angle of 25.0° below the horizontal, the ball is  given an initial velocity of 10.00m/s. It hits the ground after 5.00seconds. (a) How far does the ball strike the ground horizontally from the base of the building? (b) Determine the height at which the ball was thrown. (c) How long does it take the ball to travel 10.0 meters below the level of launch?
