A basketball player is 6ft tall, the player was fouled and gets a free shot from the foul line. The player is 15ft away from the basketball net, and the basket is 10ft off the ground.
a)If the basketball player shoots the ball at an angle of 45 degrees, find the magnitude of the velocity needed to get the ball into the basket
b) If a basketball has a mass of 1kg estimate the force as a vector needed to make the basket
c) Why would the player want to shoot more slowly?
