MATHS COURSEWORK - SCORING A BASKET Task: Find values for the initial speed and angle of projection needed to score a basket in basketball from the free throw line. Is there a range of values of angle for an initial velocity that will still allow you to score a basket? Method: To solve this problem I am going to record myself scoring 10 clean baskets (the ball does not touch the hoop or back board) on video camera. Having done this I will know the time taken from the ball leaving my hands to it going into the basket. By using vector equations for Displacement, Velocity and Aceeleration in relation to time I will be able to calculate: * The maximum height achieved by the ball. * The distance travelled by the ball * The time taken to travel this distance * The height of release and the height at which it lands. This will give...
