ICA and Galileo are in the 4th quarter of a basketball game both with 15 points. ICA has a free throw shot at a horizontal range of 4.52 meters away from the basket. If the player takes a deep breath and calcultes her initial velocity to be 6 m/s at an angle of 60o, do they make the shot? In other words, at the peak of the arc will the ball travel high enough to reach the 1.37meter high hoop.

the chart show the masses and velocities of two colliding objects that stick together after a collision.

according to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the object after the collision is  

answer

1,500

kg • m/s.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
