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
• Is this enough energy to make the shot?
