INSTRUCTION: Answer the problem set given. Provide a complete and clear
solutions with appropriate illustrations. Express your final answer in 3 decimal
places with correct units and box it. Put your final answer on the line before
the number.
PROBLEM NO. 1
As shown in the figure below, neglect the size of the ball then determine the
magnitude 𝑣𝑎 of the basketball’s initial velocity and its velocity when it
passes through the basket. (va = 11.7 m/s, vb = 10.8 m/s)
______________1. Determine the value of basketball’s initial velocity.
______________2. Determine the value of basketball’s velocity when it passes
through the basket.
PROBLEM NO. 2
Determine the horizontal velocity 𝑣𝐴 of a tennis ball at A so that it just
clears the net at B. Also, find the distance 𝑠 where the ball strikes the
ground. (vA = 39.7 ft/s, s = 6.11 ft)
______________1. The horizontal velocity at point A.
______________2. The value of distance s.
PROBLEM NO. 3
A tennis player wins a match and hits a ball into the stands at 30 m/s and at
an angle 45o above the horizontal. On its way down, the ball is caught by a
spectator 10 m above the point where the ball was hit. (3.79s, 26.5 m/s)
______________1. Calculate the time it takes the tennis ball to reach the
spectator.
______________2. What is the magnitude of the ball’s velocity at impact?

PROBLEM NO. 4
Suppose a golfer hits a ball with a velocity of 45 m/s at an angle 20o to the
horizontal.(84.57, 12.1, 0.9182 or 2.222)
______________1. What is the horizontal distance of the ball from the initial
position after 2 seconds.
______________2. What is the greatest height the ball will reach?
______________3. How long will the ball be in the air?
PROBLEM NO. 5
The ball is kicked from point A with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. (8.83 m, 10
m/s)84.57, 12.1, 0.9182 or 2.222)
______________1. Determine the range R.
______________2. The speed at pt C.
