A 0.17 kg baseball is launched from the roof of a building 14 m above the ground. Its initial velocity is 29 m/s at 40° above the horizontal. Assume any effects of air resistance are negligible.

(a) What is the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches?

m

(b) What is the speed of the ball as it strikes the ground?

m/s
