A basketball player shoots a basketball a distance of 6.5 m from the hoop releasing the ball at a height of 1.5 m above the ground. The basketball goal’s rim stands 3 m above the ground. If the player shoots the ball at an angle of 43 degree with the horizontal, what initial speed must he shoot the ball to make it in the basket?
I know this is a ideal projectile motion problem, but I'm not quite sure where to start. I've tried breaking down the problem into its different compents, but I just can't get that to work
Typically I'm given a problem with velocity, so this is new to me
I def. don't won't anyone to give me final answer, but if you could help get me started and walk me through the problem it would be much appreciated
