A ball is struck from a height (1.80 m) with an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s at an angle of 42.0° above the horizontal. The ball passes through the center of a hoop before returning to the ground which is 1.80 m below the starting point. If the ball is moving horizontally when it goes through the hoop, (hint: make sure you know the condition of equations you want to use.) use g=9.81m/s² 1. how long does it take to reach the hoop? 2. And how high above the ground is the center of the hoop? 3. How far is the ball measured horizontally from the person to where it
Please walk me through this problem


When an object is thrown obliquely near the Earth's surface it moves in a curved path. The object is called as projectile and its motion is called as projectile motion. The acceleration of the object is nearly equal to the acceleration due to gravity, g.
Kinematic equations of motion are-
where,
Consider downward motion as negative and upward as positive.
(1)
Since the ball is travelling horizontally at the center of the hoop, so the center of the hoop is the top most point in the motion of ball.
At this point the vertical component of velocity of ball is zero.
Now, apply kinematic equation of motion in vertical direction between the point of launch and the center of the hoop-
where,
(2)
Height of the center of hoop from the point of launch of ball is-
Therefore, height of center of loop from the ground is given by-
(3)
Apply kinematic equation of motion in vertical direction between point of launch and the floor.
Solving this quadratic equation using quadratic formula-
Now,
Horizontal distance moved by ball in time is equal to-
