Question 1140910: A golf ball leaves the club with an initial velocity of 100 feet per second. The distance the ball travels is found by the formula (will present the following information below). The acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second squared.

Now the following questions:

One, how would I find the distance that the ball traveled if the angle between the path of the ball and the ground measured 60°? and two, if a ball traveled at 312.5 feet, then what was the angle the path of the ball made with the
ground to the nearest degree?

The following information I couldn't type above:
