- Our pinoy pride, Kai Sotto, is now training for his upcoming 3x3 basketball tournament next year. Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the three-point line is 6.75 meters from the center of the basket. If he will train for three-point shooting, what should be the ball's angle when he shoots the ball if he will try to shoot from a height as high as the basket with an initial velocity of 8.2 m/s? Is it 40°; 50°; 60°? How long would it take for the ball to reach the ring for each of the angles? What is the ball's maximum height for each of the angles? And how fast is the ball's horizontal and vertical initial velocities for each or the angles?arrow_forwardA catapult launches a 300 kg rock with a velocity of 18 m/s at a 24 degree angle relative to the horizontal.
