A football quarterback throws a pass 45.70 m downfield and into a bucket. The quarterback consistently launches the ball at 38.00° above horizontal, and the bucket is placed at the same level from which the ball is thrown. What initial speed is needed so that the ball lands in the bucket? By how much would the launch speed have to be increased if the bucket is moved to 46.50 m downfield?
