In a game of basketball, a forward makes a bounce pass to the center. The ball is thrown with an initial speed of 5.3 m/s at an angle of 14.8° below the horizontal. It is released 0.82 m above the floor. What horizontal distance does the ball cover before bouncing?

Solution:Height of basket ball=0.82 mVelocity of basket ball (vertically downward)=5.3*sin 14.8Acceleration of basket ball (down ward)=9.8 m/s^2Solving the equation is:Time taken to reach the...
