A grade 12 Physics student shoots a basketball from the ground at a hoop which is 2.0 m above
her release. The shot was at a velocity of 10 m/s
and at an angle of 80° to the ground.
a. Determine the vertical velocity of the ball
when it is at the level of the net. You
should get two answers.
Please show ALL steps

7.84 m/s

Explanation:

Height, h = 2 m

Initial velocity, u = 10 m/s

Angle, A = 80°

(a) Let the time taken to go to the net is t.

Use second equation of motion

Time cannot be negative.

So, t = 0.2 s

The vertical velocity at t = 0.2 s is

v = u + at

v = 10 sin 80 - 9.8 x0.2

v = 9.8 - 1.96 = 7.84 m/s
