A ball is shot from the top of a building with an initial velocity of \(18\,\text{m/s}\) at an angle \(\theta = 42^\circ\) above the horizontal.(a) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity? , (b) If a nearby building is the same height and \(55\,\text{m}\) away, how far below the top of the building will the ball strike the nearby building? :

\(v_{i,x}=13.4\,\text{m/s},\;v_{i,y}=12.0\,\text{m/s}\) \(33.3\,\text{m}\)
