A Water Balloon Battle. You are launching water balloons at a rival team using a large slingshot. The other team is set up on the opposite side of a flat-topped building that is 30.0 ft tall and 50.0 ft wide. Your reconnaissance team has reported that the opposition is set up 10.0 m from the wall of the building. Your balloon launcher is calibrated for launch speeds that can reach as high as 120 mph at angles between 0 and

from the horizontal. Since a direct shot is not possible (the opposing team is on the opposite side of the building), you plan to splash the other team by making a balloon explode on the ground near them. If your launcher is located 55.0 m from the building (opposite side as the opposing team), what should your launch velocity be ((a) magnitude and (b) direction) to land a balloon 5.0 meters beyond the opposing team with maximum impact (i.e. maximum vertical speed)?
