Problem 17-18. A basketball is shot from an initial height of
2.40m (as shown in figure below) with an initial speed of 12m/s
directed at an angle 35 degrees above the horizontal.

(17) How far from the basket was the player if he made a basket?
a. 12.78m c. 6.34m
b. 0.98m d. -0.98m
(18) At what angle to the horizontal did the ball enter the
basket?
a. 30.84 c. 35
b. -30.84 d. -35

vo = 12 m/s
35°
2.40 m
= 3.05 m
x = ?
Transcribed Image Text:vo = 12 m/s 35° 2.40 m = 3.05 m x = ?
