When serving, a beach volleyball player strikes the volleyball (mass = 265 g) at a height of 2.4 metres above the ground. The ball follows the standard path of a projectile, first rising as it passes over the net, and then descending. The opponent receives the volleyball 1.1 seconds later at the same height (2.4 metres above the ground), and at a horizontal distance of 13.5 metres from the server. Answer the following questions assuming there is no effect of air resistance. When the ball was received by the opponent, the horizontal component of velocity (in m/s) was? The vertical component of velocity at take-off and impact (in m/s) can be solved by recognizing that the vertical component of velocity at the point of maximum height in the trajectory of motion is (in m/s)?
