You are working on your tennis serve. You stand 15m away 1m high net, and you serve the ball from a height of 2m. You serve the ball at 18m/s at an angle of 10 degrees above the horizontal. Ignore the effects of air resistance. Does the ball make it over the net, or does it hit the net? Justify the answer by finding the height of the ball when it reacles the net.
