With only a few seconds left in the game a football quarterback needs to score a touchdown. He's 35 yards from the end zone goal line and ready to pass, when he sees his receiver 18 yards directly ahead of him begin to sprint straight for the end zone at 15 miles per hour. If the quarterback throws the football upward at an angle of 41 degrees, how fast (in feet per second) must he throw the football so it will meet the receiver right on the goal line? If the quarterback releases the ball from 6.0 ft in the air, how high (you can answer in feet) would the receiver need to jump to catch the ball if he were able to reach 8.0 ft in the air standing still? (In imperial units, g-32 feet per second squared).
