Question

(1). On a basketball court, you throw a ball straight down to the ground. the ball leaves your hand from the height of 65.0 cm and with a speed of 11.0 m/s. how much time does the ball take to hit the ground?

(11) ( Even though this problem continues the "story" set up in the previous one, this is not a continuation of the same motion. Treat problem (11) as a brand-new situation. Problem (1) was just the mechanism to get the ball to "launch" off the ground.)

The basketball bounces straight back off the ground and reaches a maximum height of 4.00 m

a. With what speed did the ball leave the ground? ( It is perfectly natural for this to be less than the speed it had before it hit the ground.)

The basketball hoop is 3.05 m above the ground. the ball will pass the position of the hoop twice-once on the way up and a second time on the way down.

b. determine the ball's velocity (magnitude and direction) as it reaches the height of the hoop on its way down.
