If a nearby building is the same height and 61 m away, how far below the top of the building will the ball strike the nearby building? ( Choose upward as the positive y-direction and express the displacement with the sign of the result, which must be in units of meters and include 1 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.80 m/s2.)

A football is punted from the ground, it passes through the apex of its flight, and it begins its downward decent. When its height above the field is h = 2.5m, the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity are observed to have the values v(horizontal) = 15 m/s and v(vertical) = 2.5 m/s, respectively. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located ar the inital position of the football. Ignore air resistance. Calculare the time, in seconds, from when the football left the ground until it is descending at a height of h = 2.5m.
