A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?

A stone is thrown outward, at an angle of 30° with the horizontal into the river from a cliff, that is 75 meters above the water level at a velocity of 54 km/hr. How long it will take the stone to hit the surface of the river? a. 0.06159 minb. 0.059157minc. 0.01596 mind. 0.07915 min
A stone is thrown horizontally from the highest point of a 95 m building and lands 115 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the stone in the air in seconds? What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second? What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the stone hits the ground, in meters per second? What is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
