    at the top of the arch vertical is zero (converted to potential energy) so you only have horizontal component. note that horizontal velocity is constant while baseball is airborne (if we neglect air resistance, since there is nothing else acting on ball in horizontal axis).

    Vx= 40m/s * cos(30)

    Ek=0.5*m*Vx^2=0.5*0.150*[40*cos(3)]^2
