Question: A basketball player throws the ball at a 53° angle above the horizontal to a hoop whose centre is located a horizontal distance L = 8.70 m from the point of release and at a height h = 0.70 m above it.
Part A: What initial speed is required if the basketball is to reach the centre of the hoop? (Ignore the size of the ball.)
I need help to find what initial speed is required.
