5. Steph Curry launches a basketball from a height of 2.36 m above the ground from the free throw line, which is 4.191 m to the left of the center of the hoop. The basketball makes it through the hoop, which is 3.048 meters above the ground, 1.13 seconds later. Remember that velocity is a vector. a. What is the basketball's velocity when it leaves Steph's hands? b. What is the basketball's velocity as it passes through the hoop?

In the Superbowl, a quarterback throws a football while standing at the very center of the field on the 50 yard line. The ball leaves his hand at a height of 5 ft and has initial velocity of ~v(0) =< 40, 35, 32 > ft/sec. Assume an acceleration of 32 ft/sec2 due to gravity, i.e., ~a(t) =< 0, 0, −32 >, and that the vector ~i points down fieldtoward the endzone and that the vector ~j points to the sideline. The field is 150 ft in width and 300 ft in length.(a) Determine the position function that gives the position of the ball t seconds after it isthrown. (b) The ball is caught by a player 5 ft above the ground. Is the player in bounds or out ofbounds when he receives the ball? (Assume the player is standing vertically with bothtoes on the ground at the time of reception.)
1) A cannonball is shot with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s and 25.0º angle above horizontal from a height of 12.0 m. How far can the cannonball go horizontally when it lands on the ground, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s2

(Hint: final speed = 38.6 m/s)
3. A player kicks a football at an angle of 35° with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of 14.8 m/s. A second player standing at a distance of 26.0 m from the first player in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at the instant it is kicked. (a) At what rate should the second player accelerate to catch the ball? (b) What would be the speed of the second player upon catching the ball?
Spitting cobras can defend themselves by squeezingmuscles around their venom glands to squirt venom atan attacker. Suppose a spitting cobra rears up to a height of0.500 m above the ground and launches venom at 3.50 m/s,directed 50.0° above the horizon. Neglecting air resistance,find the horizontal distance traveled by the venom before ithits the ground.
