A basketball leaves a player's hands at a height of 2.10 m
above the floor. The basket is 3.05 m above the floor. The
player likes to shoot the ball at a 38.0° angle. If the shot is
made from a horizontal distance of 11.00 m and must be
accurate to ±0.22 m (horizontally), what is the range of
initial speeds allowed to make the basket?

- A cannon is fired over level ground at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. The initial velocity at this angle is 80 m/s, but this velocity may be separated into a vertical velocity component of 40 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 69.3 m/s. How far does the cannonball travel horizontally?arrow_forwardConsider a projectile being launched with an initial speed of 58 m/s at a variety of initial angles. What is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ1 = 78.3°?arrow_forwardThe citizens of Paris were terrified during World War I when they were suddenly bombarded with shells fired from a long-range gun known as Big Bertha. The barrel of the gun was 36.6 m long, and it had a muzzle speed of 2.20 km/s. When the gun’s angle of elevation was set to 55.0°, what would be the range? For the purposes of solving this problem, ignore air resistance. (The actual range at this elevation was 121 km; air resistance cannot be ignored for the high muzzle speed of the shells.) kmarrow_forward
