projectile time left in basketball


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Trailing by two points, and with only 2.0 s remaining in a basketball game, a player makes a jump-shot at an angle of 60° with the horizontal, giving the ball a velocity of 10 m/s. The ball is released at the height of the basket, 3.05 m above the floor. Yes! It's a score.
(a) How much time is left in the game when the basket is made?


2. Relevant equations

d=.5at^2
d=Vxt

3. The attempt at a solution

I got this, maybe im reading the question wrong
Time till at top: 0.88 s
Total time: 1.76 s
Maximum height: 3.82 m
Range: 8.83 m


I took 2sec-1.76 and got .24 and its not right?
