A soccer player is practicing on the field. He kicks a ball with a speed of 32 m/s at a 53-degree angle with respect to the horizontal toward the net. If the horizontal bar of the goal is 2.3 meters above the ground and he is standing 35-yards in from of the goal, does he score a goal or does the ball soar above the net?

The free throw line in basketball is 4.57 m (15 ft) from the basket, which is 3.05 m (10 ft) above the floor. A player standing on the free throw line throws the ball with an initial speed of 8.15 m/s, releasing it at a height of 2.44 m (8 ft) above the floor. At what angle above the horizontal must the ball be thrown to exactly hit the basket? Note that most players will use a large initial angle rather than a flat shot because it allows for a larger margin of error. Explicitly show how you follow the steps involved in solving projectile motion problems.
