ANSWER:
Step 1 of 6
A basketball is shot from an initial height of with an initial speed directed at an angle above the horizontal is shown below figure.
The kinematic equation that relates the vertical displacement of basketball and its time of flight is,
Here, is time of the flight, is the initial distance covered in vertical direction, is the final distance, is the initial component of velocity in vertical direction, and is the acceleration.
