A ball is fired from a height of 3.0 m above the ground,with a speed of 13 m/s and an angle of 22 degrees below the horizontal.(a) At what time does the ball hit the ground? (b) What is the impact velocity?

break the initial velocity into vertical and horiontal components.
Then use the vertical velocity in the distance equation..
3=Vvo*time - 4.9time^2 to solve for time.
Impact velocity will be the Vector sum of the initial vertical velocity and the final vertical velocity..
final velocityvertical=initialVv-g*t
