A volleyball court is shown in the figure below. To serve, a player launches the ball horizontally with a speed of 22.37 m/s. 4.2 2.24 m 18.00 m 19 9.00 m (a) For an ideal serve, the ball should pass immediately above the net. At what height should the ball be struck so that it passes just above the net? (Give the answer in meters -- numerical value only, no units). h (b) Suppose the ball is launched at the correct height found in part (a). The opponents do not touch the ball. At what distance from the serving player will the ball land? (answer in metres -- numerical value only, no units) Is the serve legal? Try this the next time you are on a volleyball court! Page 3
