A bowling ball is launched from the top of a building at an angle of 35° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 15 m/s. T

he ball lands on the ground 2.9 s after it is launched. What is the height of the building (in m)?

Let y_0 be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time t is given by

y=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2

where g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball reaches the ground when y=0 after t=2.9\,\mathrm s. Solve for y_0:

0=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ(2.9\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.9\,\mathrm s)^2

\implies y_0\approx16.258\,\mathrm m

so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).
