December 11, 2025

Problem

A ball is thrown from a 50-meter tall building at 20 m/s at a 60° angle. Find when and where it hits the ground.

Explanation

Visualize a ball thrown from a building with adjustable initial speed, angle, and height. The arc shows the projectile's path until it hits the ground; the impact time and horizontal distance are computed from the motion equations.
