A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a softball to her friends in the water below. She throws the softball with a velocity of 19.5 m/s at an angle of 36.5° above the horizontal. When the softball leaves her hand, it is 13.5 m above the water. How far does the softball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer.

A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
Lili throws a ball to her friend Eric. The ball leaves Lili's hand a distance 2.00 meters above the ground with an initial speed of 18.0 m/s at an angle 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. Eric catches the ball 1.20 meters above the ground. What is the distance between Lili and Eric, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s2.

Our pinoy pride, Kai Sotto, is now training for his upcoming 3x3 basketball tournament next year. Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the three-point line is 6.75 meters from the center of the basket. If he will train for three-point shooting, what should be the ball's angle when he shoots the ball if he will try to shoot from a height as high as the basket with an initial velocity of 8.2 m/s? Is it 40°; 50°; 60°? How long would it take for the ball to reach the ring for each of the angles? What is the ball's maximum height for each of the angles? And how fast is the ball's horizontal and vertical initial velocities for each or the angles?
