Projectile Motion -- baseball popup
A baseball is popped up, remaining aloft for 6.3 s before being caught at a horizontal distance of 83 m from the starting point. What was the launch angle?
vx = vcostheta
vy = vcostheta
I tried solving for vx and vy then take those and find the arctan but then there was an erroron my caclculator. Besides, I think I'm doing something wrong.
