Homework Statement
A ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 7.80 m/s at an angle of 15.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 6.00 s later.
(a) How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground?
Homework Equations
Vx = xsinTheta
DeltaX = Vx . t
The Attempt at a Solution
Vx = 7.8sin(15) = 2.02 m/s^-1
DeltaX = (2.02)(6) = 12.11m
Something is seriously wrong in my answer although I can't see what. The answer should be 45.2m.
