Basketball Free Throw A basketball player shoots a 0.62 kg basketball.

The ball leaves their hands 2.1 meters above the ground with an initial

velocity of 7.8 m/s at an angle of 60° upward. The basket is 3.05 meters

high.

• Calculate the ball’s initial kinetic energy

• Find its maximum height

• Determine its potential energy when it reaches the basket
