What speed must the player give the ball

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-23] [Hit: ]
v0=Sqrt[g R/sin(2*theta)] = Sqrt[9.8m/s/s*13.4m/sin(84.6)] = 11.......
Assume: A 78g basketball is launched at an angle of 42.3 degrees and a distance of 13.4m from the basketball goal. The ball is released at the same height (ten feet) as the basketball goal's height.

A basketball player tries to make a long jump-shot as described above.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2. What speed must the player give the ball? Answer in units of m/s.

Please help!

use the range equation:

R = v0^2 sin(2 theta)/g

R=range = 13.4 m
v0=initial velocity
theta = launch angle = 42.3 deg
g=9.8m/s/s

solve for v0:

v0=Sqrt[g R/sin(2*theta)] = Sqrt[9.8m/s/s*13.4m/sin(84.6)] = 11.5m/s
