Chapter 12 Problem P12-3

Question

The basketball was thrown at an angle measured from the horizontal to the man's outstretched arm. If the basket is 3 m from the ground, make appropriate measurements in the photo and determine if the ball located as shown will pass through the basket.

Solution

Step 1 of 2

The height of the basketball is H = 3 m

Let us consider the height of the man is h = 1.5 m

The angle is 45 degrees

The attained height of the ball is:

\(h^{\prime}=3-1.5=1.5 \mathrm{~m}\)
