A quarterback claims that he can throw the football a horizontal distance of 199m. Furthermore, he claims that he can do this by launching the ball at the relatively low angle of 34.8degrees above the horizontal. To evaluate this claim, determine the speed with which this quarterback must throw the ball. Assume that the ball is launched at the same vertical angle and that air resistance can be ignored. For comparison a baseball pitcher who can accurately throw a fastball at 45m/s (100mph) would be considered exceptional.
