At time t = 0, a ball is struck at ground level and sent over level ground. The figure here gives the magnitude p of the ball's momentum versus time t during the ball's flight ( p0 = 7.0 kg⋅m/s and p1 = 1.0 kg⋅m/s). At what initial angle is the ball launched? (Hint: Find a solution that does not require you to read the time at the low point of the plot.)
