A baseball player hits a home run, and the ball lands in the left-field seats, y = 8.00 m above the point at which it was hit. It lands with a velocity of v = 37.0 m/s at an angle of 28o below the horizontal (see the Figure). The positive directions are upward and to the right in the drawing. Ignoring air resistance, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the initial velocity with which the ball leaves the bat.

In a football game, a player wants to kick the ball as far as possible, but also make sure that it stays in the air as long as possible, so that there is enough time for other players to run down the field and tackle the receiver. If the football is supposed to travel a distance of 49.8 m and stay in the air for 4.41 s, what initial angle and speed does the player have to provide? You can assume that the initial and final vertical coordinate are zero. Hint: Start from the range equation that you derived in class.
