Homework Statement
A basketball player throws a ball at an angle of 30º above the horizontal. If the ball in has an initial velocity of 29.4 m/s, how far does it travel?
Homework Equations
Vyf^2 = Vyi^2 + 2(Ay)(Dy) solve for Dy and get
[Vyf^2 - (Vyi^2)] / (2(Ay)) = Dy
The Attempt at a Solution
0 - (29.4sin30)^2 / (2(-9.8)) = 11.025
29.4sin30 = 14.7 and then 14.7^2 = 216.09 and then 0 - 216.09 is -216.09/(2(-9.8)) = 11.025
