Question:

For summertime fun, you decide to combine diving from a board with shooting a basketball through a hoop.
(a) During several practice runs you stand at the end of a diving board and launch the basketball horizontally from a position 4.50 m above the water. If the average landing spot is 6.25 m horizontally from your initial position, what is the average launch speed?
(b) Now you step off the diving board and launch the ball in order to make a basket in a hoop that is 3.75 m horizontally from the ball and 1.00 m above the water as shown in FIGURE 4-31. At what time after stepping off the board should you launch the ball?
(c) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity at the instant of launch?
