Homework Statement


A marble is thrown horizontally with a speed of 10 m/s from the top of a building. When it strikes the ground, the marble has a velocity that makes an angle 68° with the horizontal. From what height above the ground was the marble thrown?



Homework Equations


delta y = (V02 sin2 theta)/(2g)


The Attempt at a Solution


4.39 m and 421.24. Neither correct.
