Emily throws a soccer ball out of her dorm window to Allison, who is waiting below to catch it. Emily throws the ball at an angle of 30° below horizontal with a speed of 12 m/s, and Allison catches it 2.5 s later. How far from the base of the dorm does Allison stand to catch the ball, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s2.
