You are throwing for a three pointer. The ball leaves your hand with a velocity of 9.4 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees with the horizon. You score from a horizontal distance of 7 m. The height of the basket is 3.5 m. (Ignore air-resistance)
a) Draw a free body diagram of the ball.
b) Find the position and velocity of the ball as a function of time
c) At what height was the ball released?
d) What is the velocity in the vertical direction as the ball hits the goal?
