5. An NBA regulation court has a free throw line 15 ft away from the basket. The basketball hoop is 10 ft above the floor. The half court is 43 ft away from the basket. Steph Curry is about 6.15 ft tall, but when he shoots for the basket, he jumps 0.25 ft off the ground and raises his arms 0.5ft above his head. He launches his shot at about 58° off the floor. a. How fast does Steph Curry have to launch his shot to make it from the free throw? i.e. What is the magnitude of the velocity vector? b. What about from the half-court? 5.
