10. Klay Thompson has an amazingly consistent 3 point shot. Heconsistently releases from let's say 3.0 meters above the ground toenter a hoop 22 ft away (note units). The hoop is 10 ft off theground.

a. If he shoots with a release angle of 30 degrees, how fast isthe ball as it leaves his hands?

b. The same shot is attempted, at the same angle, but bouncesoff the back of the rim. It went 0.15m past what he wanted. Whatwas the speed on release for this shot?

c. (Opinion) Would you rather be able to do this problem viarepetition and feel like Klay does? Or would you rather go throughthe numbers so that you could program a robot to shoot a ballbetter than Klay or Curry or Jordan?

( We are doing projectile motion right now )

I also I converted the feet to meters i noticed the hoop is 3meters(rounded) and so is where Klay shoots his ball.
