Math Problem Statement
Course Contents » Set 02 (09/18 Wed 10 PM) » Soccer ball on the roof A soccer ball is kicked from the top of one building with a height of H1 = 31.5 m to another building with a height of H2 = 13.4 m. (It is not a very smart idea to play soccer on the roof of tall buildings.)
The ball is kicked with a speed of v0 = 15.1 m/s at angle of θ = 72.0° with respect to the horizontal. How much time will the ball spend in the air before it hits the roof of the other building? (The soccer ball is kicked without a spin. Neglect air resistance.)

Formulas
Horizontal velocity component: v0x = v0 * cos(θ)
Vertical velocity component: v0y = v0 * sin(θ)
Kinematic equation for vertical motion: y(t) = y0 + v0y * t - (1/2) * g * t^2
Quadratic equation: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
