Classical Mechanics: Projectile Motion

A ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 8.80 m/s at an angle of 21.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 3.00 s later.

(a) How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground?

(b) Find the height from which the ball was thrown.
