In a friendly game of handball, you hit the ball essentially at ground level and send it toward the wall with a speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 39 degrees above the horizontal. (a) How long does it take for the ball to reach the wall if it is 3.7 m away? (b) How high is the ball when it hits the wall?

horizontal velocity=25cos39
time= distance/horizontalvelocity
vertical height/horizontaldistance=tan39
solve for height.
