Question

Problem 71a

Answer 1

Given information

Basketball is shot from an initial height of with an initial speed directed at an angle above the horizontal.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

Horizontal component of velocity is . Here is initial velocity and is the angle made with horizontal.

So the horizontal component of velocity is , As the value of  

Now we will find the time to basket , for this we use equation of motion 

 

Here is the component of velocity in vertical direction. its value is  

We will consider the height above launch height i.e.
