A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.530-kg ball is released at a height of 1.90 m above the floor with a speed of 7.12 m/s. The ball goes through the net 3.02 m above the floor at a speed of 4.24 m/s. What is the work done on the ball by air resistance, a nonconservative force?

A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.600 kg ball is released at a height of 2.00 m above the floor with a speed of 7.80 m/s. The ball goes through the net 3.10 m above the floor at a speed of 3.30 m/s. What is the work done on the ball by air resistance, a nonconservative force?
Answer:
change in KE = work done by gravity + work done byair resistance
final K - initial K = - mg ?h + work by air resistance
(1/2) * 0.6 * 3.302 - (1/2) * 0.6 * 7.702 = - 0.600 * 9.80* (3.10 - 2.00) + work by air
3.267 - 17.787 = 5.292 + work by air
work by air = -19.812 Joules
