(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.)
. A basketball player shoots a Free throw. Make a sketch showing the basketball's velocity just after the ball leaves the player's hands. Draw in two components of this velocity, one horizontal and one vertical. Repeat the sketch for the instant just before the ball reaches the basket. What is different?
