When serving, a tennis player hits the ball horizontally. With a speed of 29.12 m/s. What minimum height, H (in m) from which the ball must be launched to just clear the 0.90 m high net about L = 17.65 m from the server.
How far from the end of the service box (which is a distance of S = 6.80 m from the net) will the ball land if it just clears the net? Use the positive direction if the ball is good (i.e. lands within the service box). Give your answer in meters.
For how long will the ball be in the air? (s)
