Ellie is shooting a free throw. At the instant the ball leaves her hand the ball is traveling at a velocity of 7.2 m/sec, at an angle above the horizontal of 23.4 degrees. If you are standing beneath the basketball rim, videotaping, you can only see the vertical motion of the ball, since its horizontal motion is straight towards you. What is the magnitude of the ball's initial vertical velocity (if you measured it using your video data, in m/sec)?
