A basketball player scores by shooting a basketball at an Initlal velocity of 9.85 m/s and an angle of 42.0° above horizontal. The ball leaves her hand at a helght of 1.80 m above the floor. The basket is 3.05 m above the floor. Ignore air resistance. Find the air time of the ball from the release to hitting the basket. (hint: should the basketball be going up or down when it enters the hoop?)
