- During a heated game of bocce ball, Ursula is attempting to knock the pallino (the small, white target ball) away from where her opponent's balls lie on the ground. She can do this by throwing her ball so that it lands directly on top of the pallino, which is x = 17 m horizontally downcourt from where she throws. If she releases the ball y = 0.90 m above the ground at an angle of 0 = 23° above the horizontal, then how much time will the ball spend airborne before hitting the pallino? Both balls may be treated as point particles in this problem.arrow_forwardA soccer goal is 2.44 m high. A player kicks the ball at a distance 10 m from the goal at an angle of 25°. The ball hits the crossbar at the top of the goal. What is the initial speed of the soccer ball?arrow_forwardA 2.00-m-tall basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket, as in Figure P3.44. If he shoots the ball at a 40.0° angle with the horizontal, at what initial speed must he throw the basketball so that it goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
