A football receiver running straight downfield at 5.40 m /s is 11.5 m in front of the quarterback when a pass is thrown downfield at 23.0\deg above the horizon. If the receiver never changes speed and the ball is caught at the same height from which it was thrown, find the football's initial speed, the amount of time the football spends in the air, and the distance between the quarterback and the receiver when the catch is made.
