.You get the opportunity to play basketball with LeBron James. Your team is down by 2 points with time running out. LeBron feeds you the ball and you take a shot with 0.82 seconds remaining. It goes in, with nothing but net, as the buzzer sounds! The ball leaves your hand at an angle of 30" from the horizontal. Was this a three-point shot? The maximum three-point distance in the NBA is 7.24 meters. Please include a labeled diagram showing all relevant information with your chosen +x and +y direction. Make reasonable estimates if needed.

A golfer goes to chip the ball. The closest edge of the green is 60 m away and the furthest edge of the green is 80 m away. He hits the ball with an initial velocity of 30 m/s at a 40 degree angle. With this range, will the ball land on the green? O a. Yes O b. No
If va=a1. a2 x a3 and vb=b1. b2 x b3 , by use of the vector relation a x (b x c) = b(a.c) - c(a.b) show that vb = 1/va. (Noted that b1, b2 and b3 are reciprocal vectors )
Some cats can be trained to jump from one location to another and perform other tricks. Kit the cat is going to jump through a hoop. He begins on a wicker cabinet at a height of 1.722 m above the floor and jumps through the center of a vertical hoop, reaching a peak height 3.130 m above the floor. (Assume the center of the hoop is at the peak height of the jump. Assume that +xaxis is in the direction of the hoop from the cabinet and +y axis is up. Assume g = 9.81 m/s2.) (a) With what initial velocity did Kit leave the cabinet if the hoop is at a horizontal distance of 1.550 m from the cabinet? (Express your answer in vector form. Give your answer to at least two decimal places for each vector component.) v0 =?m/s (b) If Kit lands on a bed at a horizontal distance of 3.580 m from the cabinet, how high above the ground is the bed?In m
A placekicker is about to kick a field goal. The ball is 21.7 m from the goalpost. The ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 19.1 m/s at an angle above the ground. Between what two angles, 0₁ and 02, will the ball clear the 2.67-m-high crossbar? Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identities may be useful: sec 0 = 1/(cos) and sec²0 = 1 + tan²0.) (a) Number (b) Number Units Units 0₂
A squirrel is trying to locate some nuts he buried for the winter. He moves 5.10 m to the right of a stone and digs unsuccessfully. Then he moves 1.00 m to the left of his hole, changes his mind, and moves 8.10 m to the right of that position and digs a second hole. No luck. Then he moves 9.90 m to the left and digs again. He finds a nut at last. What is the squirrel’s total displacement from its starting point?

question 2. Suppose there are two force vectors ⃗F1 = (F1,x,F1,y) and ⃗F2 = (F2,x,F2,y). Add these to obtain ⃗F = ⃗F1 + ⃗F2. Under what circumstance is the magnitude F equal to the sum of the magnitudes F1 + F2? You must justify your answer, to receive credit (as always). my three angles are 0°,230°,144° my three forces are 9.8, 5.782,7.546
1. A player lines up to kick a 40 m goal. In the first attempt, the ball has an initial velocity of 20 m/s at angle of 55.0 degrees. The goal posts are 3 m high. Ônce the ball passes above the field goal post (i.e., after it has travelled 40 m in the horizontal direction), it is deemed successful. (a) Determine if the goal kicker's first attempt is successful. (b) If the kicker changes the angle of kicking to 30 degrees and the initial velocity so that it JUST reaches the goal post. Determine the new initial velocity of ball.
