A golf ball is hit by a club off of a tee with a velocity of 15.0 m/s at 50.0° above the horizontal. The hole (or cup) is on a green (flat level ground) that is 2.75 m above the tee where the golf ball was driven. The golf ball hits the green on its way down from its maximum height. (a) What is the maximum height above the tee that the ball reached on its way to the green? (b) What is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the green? (c) Include a complete diagram of the situation.

Question
A golf ball is hit by a club off of a tee with a velocity of 15.0 m/s at 50.0° above the
horizontal. The hole (or cup) is on a green (flat level ground) that is 2.75 m above the tee
where the golf ball was driven. The golf ball hits the green on its way down from its
maximum height. (a) What is the maximum height above the tee that the ball reached on its
way to the green? (b) What is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the green? (c) Include
a complete diagram of the situation.
