A quarterback can run with a speed of vq = 15 mph. He throws a ball with a speed of vb = 35 mph at some unknown angle θ between 30 and 60 degrees, which is measured from horizontal. Neglect air resistance. - a reciever runs past the quarteback ( just beside him) at speed vq. If the quarterback releases his pass at that instant what would be the angle in degrees that he would have to throw the ball for the reciever to catch it?
