NT Physics heads, I need your help.

Im in introductory physics doing kinematics in 2 or 3 dimensions and I need help your with a problem...



A football player can throw a football vertically (from a height of 1.00 meter) 36.0 meters. If he throws the football to a receiver 80.0 yards (73.2 meters) downfield at an angle of 50.0 degrees, he will miss the player by ______ meters. Assume both players throw and receive the ball at the same height.

Can anyone give me the steps on how to solve this? Thanks.

Time connects everything. Find the time the ball will land and use the kinematic equations.

If you have 3/5 criteria required for the equations, you can find the other 2.
