# You kick a soccer ball with an initial velocity directed 53° above the horizontal. The ball lands on a roof 7.2 m high. The wall of the building is 25 m away, and it takes the ball 2.1 seconds to pass directly over the wall.

You kick a soccer ball with an initial velocity directed 53° above the horizontal. The ball lands on a roof 7.2 m high. The wall of the building is 25 m away, and it takes the ball 2.1 seconds to pass directly over the wall.

**Part a)** Calculate the initial velocity of the ball. *(2 points)*

**Part b)** Determine the horizontal range of the ball. *(2 points)*

**Part c)** By what vertical distance does the ball clear the wall of the building? *(3 points)*
