Answer #1

Formula: V = √[(v0cosθ)2 + (v0sinθ - gt)2]

Here, V = the terminal speed

v0 = the initial speed = 4.2 m/s

θ = angle of launching = 44.2ο 

t = time = 2.42 sec.

∴ V = √[(4.2*cos(44.2))2 + (4.2*sin(44.2) - 9.8*2.42)2]

       = √[(3.01)2 + (2.93 - 23.72)2]

       = 21.005 m/s

the ball's speed is 21.005 m/s at 2.42 seconds after being launched.
