In a Kinesiology softball game, Alex is playing Right Field and attempts to throw out a runner, Max, tagging up from 3rd base, at home plate. Alex throws the ball from Right Field and it is caught at home plate by the catcher. Alex releases the baseball at a 49° angle at a height of 2.1m with an initial velocity of 36.5 m/s. The catcher catches the ball at a height of 0.25m. Ignore air resistance. What is the magnitude of the VERTICAL velocity of the baseball at the moment of release?

Juan Soto, OF for the Washington Nationals attempts to throw a runner tagging up from 3rd base out at home plate. He throws the ball from Right Field and it is caught at home plate by the Catcher. Soto releases the baseball at with an initial horizontal velocity of 24 m/s and an initial vertical velocity of 20 m/s. He releases the ball with a release height of 2.4 m and the ball is caught at a height of 0.35m. If the total time that the ball is in the air is 5.35 seconds, how far horizontally does the ball travel?
