- 4. You are currently standing at the edge of a cliff 5 m above a body of water. You then toss a coin with an initial velocity of 4.5 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. As the coin hits the water surface, it slows down to one-third of its speed right before hitting the surface and maintains this speed while underwater. Also, the coin moves in a straight line in the direction of the velocity it had when it struck the water. If the water is 2.5 m deep, determineA.

Furthermore, he claims that he can do this by launching the ball at the relatively low angle of 29.5 ° above the horizontal. To evaluate this claim, determine the speed with which this quarterback must throw the ball. Assume that the ball is launched and caught at the same vertical level and that air resistance can be ignored. For comparison a baseball pitcher who can accurately throw a fastball at 45 m/s (100 mph) would be considered exceptional.arrow_forward
