A basketball player has free throws from the foul line. The center of the basket is a horizontal distance of 4.21 m from the foul line and is a height of 3.05 m above the floor. For the first free throw he shoots the ball at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal and with a speed of v0 = 4.88 m/s. The ball is released 1.83 m above the floor. Ignore air resistance. The shot misses.

1) What is the maximum height reached by the ball?

2) At what distance along the floor from the free-throw line does the ball land?

For the second throw, the ball goes during the center of the basket. For this throw, the player again shoots at 35 degrees above the horizontal and released it 1.83 m above the floor.

3) What initial speed does the player give the ball on this second attempt?

4) For this second throw, what is the maximum height of the ball?

5) At the maximum height, how far is the ball horizontally from the basket?
