We used the time to find the other position coordinate. How would we solve this homework problem? #33. In a game of basketball, a forward makes a bounce pass to the center. The ball is thrown with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s at an angle of 15 below the horizontal. It is released 0.80 m above the floor. What horizontal distance does the ball cover before bouncing?
