PROBLEM:
In a basketball tournament, a tall player shoots the ball so that it leaves his hands at an initial speed of 35.0m/s and with an estimated an angle of 50.1o.
Neglect the height of the basketball player,
a. Determine the location of the ball and its velocity (magnitude and direction) at t = 2.00s.
b. Determine the time when the ball reaches the highest point of its path and its vertical distance at that time.
c. Determine the range from initial point to its final position.
