    Tracking the Ball's Motion After a Throw at Ground Level

    A ball is thrown into the air from ground level. After a time t = 1 s, the ball has traveled to a position x1 = 28 m to the right of and y1 = 13 m up from where it was thrown (at this time, the x and y components of the ball's velocity are still positive). The axes show the x and y directions to...
