Question
1. In 1989 during overtime in a high school basketball game in Erie, Pennsylvania, Chris Eddy shot a
basketball at a 50.0° angle with a velocity of 15.85 m/s, what was the maximum height of the ball, the
total time spent in the air, and horizontal displacement?
(1) Resolve Vi into X and Y components
Horizontal (x): Vì cos e
Vertical (y): Vi sin e
Horizontal (x)
Vertical (y)
3 Choose equation
Time = At
Horizontal (x)
Vertical (y)
Vf = (a t) + vi
Distance = Ax
Initial Velocity = V
Ax = ½ (vi + vt) at
Ax = vi (At)
Final Velocity= V
Ax = vi At + ½ a Af
Acceleration = a
Vf = v + 2 a Ax
4 Plug in
numbers
S Solve he
equation
