Trailing by two points, and with only 1.00 s remaining in a basketball game, a player makes a jump shot at an angle of 35.0° with the horizontal, giving the ball a velocity of 8.50 m/s. The ball is released 0.25 m below the height of the basket, which is 3.05 m above the floor. Yes! It's a score. a) How much time is left in the game when the basket is made?

A player passes a basketball to another player who catches it at the same level from which it was thrown. The initial speed of the ball is 8.0 m/s and it travels a distance of 4.5 m What was the initial direction of the ball? Express your answer using two significant figures. If there is more than one answer, separate them by a comma.

1) Ball A is thrown horizontally (i.e., the ball is moving parallel to the ground at the instant it leaves the person's hand) at a speed of 5 m/s. Define the +y-direction to be straight up (away from the ground) and the +x-direction to be the direction in which the ball was thrown. Which of the following must be true? Select all that apply. The y-component of the ball's acceleration is 0 m/s2. The x-component of the ball's acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. The initial value of the x-component of the ball's velocity is 5 m/s. The x-component of the ball's acceleration is 0 m/s2. The y-component of the ball's acceleration is -9.8 m/s2 The initial value of the y-component of the ball's velocity is 5 m/s. 2) At the same instant that Ball A leaves the person's hand, Ball B is released from rest and falls straight down. Both balls start at the same height above the ground. Which ball hits the ground first? Both balls hit the ground at the same time. Ball B Ball A
