A rugby player passes the ball 9.75 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used? (Answer in Degrees) What other angle gives the same range? (Answer in Degrees) For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air? (answer in Seconds)
