Suppose we change the dolphin's launch angle to 45.0°, but everything else remains the same. Thus, the horizontal distance to the ball is 5.50 m, the drop height is 4.10 m, and the dolphin's launch speed is 12.0 m/s.
(a) What is the vertical distance between the dolphin and the ball when the dolphin reaches the horizontal position of the ball? We refer to this as the "miss distance."
(b) If the dolphin's launch speed is reduced, will the miss distance increase, decrease, or stay the same?
(c) Find the miss distance for a launch speed of 10.0 m/s.
