2. Maya Moore makes a last-second shot (and scores!) far from the basketball hoop. To
make the shot, she releases the basketball at an angle of 60◦ with the horizontal, to give it
a good “arc”, and a speed of 15 m/s.
(a) If she released the ball at a height of 2.0 m above the floor, and the hoop is 3.0 m above
the floor, how far away (horizontal distance) was she from the basket when she took the
shot?
(b) What was the maximum height of the ball’s trajectory above the floor of the basketball
court?
