Question

Transcribed Image Text:A tennis player serves the ball with an
initial speed of 23.6 m/s, from a height of
2.37 m above the court. If the net is at a
distance of 12 m and has a height of 0.90
m, determine what is indicated in each
section:
a) The angle that the throw must have so
that the ball can pass over the net.
b) The time it takes for the ball to hit the
ground, assuming the person on the other
side of the net fails to return it.
c) If the other person has a height of 1.70
m, and his throw is made at 2.20 m,
indicate in what position he must be in
order to return the ball.
