3. A golf ball was hit and projected at an angle of 61.98 o with the horizontal. If the initial
velocity of the ball was 50.65 m/s (neglecting air resistance), then calculate the following:
a. time the golf ball was in the air.
b. horizontal distance the ball travelled.
c. maximum height the golf ball reached.
