SUMMARY
A ball was thrown from the edge of a building at an angle "alpha" and landed 50 meters away after 5 seconds, reaching a maximum height of 20 meters above the roof. The initial vertical velocity was calculated to be 19.79 m/s, leading to a total initial velocity of 22.18 m/s. The angle of launch was determined to be 63 degrees after correcting for radian to degree conversion. The discussion emphasized the independence of horizontal and vertical motion in projectile motion analysis.
