When a long jumper leaps in the air from the ground, he reaches a maximum height of 2.00 meters and travels a horizontal distance of 8.90 meters when he lands on the ground. Ignoring the effects of air resistance, determine the initial speed and the initial launch angle of the athlete.
A ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 8.60 m/s at an angle of 19.0⁰ below the horizontal. It strikes the
