Question
<p>In a game of basketball, a forward makes a bounce pass to the center. The ball is thrown with an initial speed of <span>2.5</span> m/s at an angle of <span>15.5</span><span>°</span> <em>above</em> the horizontal. It is released <span>0.73</span> m above the floor. What horizontal distance does the ball cover before bouncing?</p>Explanation / Answer
writing the eqns of motion
x=2.5 cos(15.5) t
-0.73=2.5sin(15.5)t -0.5 gt2
t = 0.46 s
x= 2.5 cos(15.5) t
= 1.11 m
