A tennis ball is thrown from the stands 10 feet above the court at a 40 degree angle up from the horizontal. How far away and when will the tennis ball hit the ground if its initial speed 10 ft/sec? Assume that the tennis ball has a constant downward acceleration from gravity (of -32 ft/second2) and no other acceleration occurs.
