I need to solve v(sub y)=v(sub 0)sin θ(sub 0)-gt to find the time that it takes the projectile to reach maximum height (so I believe I'm solving for t?). I have previously found v(sub 0y) in part (a), but I'm unsure what v(sub 0) and v(sub y) are. How do I find those variables?

In the Superbowl, a quarterback throws a football while standing at the very center of the field on the 50 yard line. The ball leaves his hand at a height of 5 ft and has initial velocity of ~v(0) =< 40, 35, 32 > ft/sec. Assume an acceleration of 32 ft/sec2 due to gravity, i.e., ~a(t) =< 0, 0, −32 >, and that the vector ~i points down fieldtoward the endzone and that the vector ~j points to the sideline. The field is 150 ft in width and 300 ft in length.(a) Determine the position function that gives the position of the ball t seconds after it isthrown. (b) The ball is caught by a player 5 ft above the ground. Is the player in bounds or out ofbounds when he receives the ball? (Assume the player is standing vertically with bothtoes on the ground at the time of reception.)
