A girl throws a water balloon out of a window of a very tall building.The water balloon leaves the window at an angle of 30 above the horizontal, with an initial velocity of 1.50 m/s. The water balloon hits a boy who is standing 3.00 m from the building. (The building is too high such that you may ignore the boy's height). a)Calculate the x and y components of the water balloon's initial velocity. b)Calculate the amount of time that passes before the water balloon hits the boy. c)Find the height of the window above the ground. d)Find the velocity (both magnitude and direction) of the water balloon immediately before it hits the boy.
