Problems for Motion with Constant Acceleration in Two and Three Dimensions
Problem 2.1:
A basketball player who is standing 15 feet away from a basketball hoop is
trying to make a basket. If the height of the hoop is 10 feet, and the
height at which the player shoots the ball is 6 feet, at what angle and with
what speed should the player shoot the ball?

Figure R.1: Diagram of a basketball player shooting a ball with speed v and
angle θ.
Problem 2.2:
Assume that the basketball player in the previous problem has a special
condition which allows him only to shoot basketballs at a speed of 10 ft/s.
How might someone go about finding at what angle must he shoot the ball in
order to make the basket?
