I need help with this question and an explanation of how you came up with the answer. Please help me if you can. I'm in a nursing home and it is a question from Grandson. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Question -
"A basketball player shoots the ball and scores the winning basket. He released the ball at a height of 8 feet with an initial speed of 20 feet per second. If the ball's initial velocity vector made an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal vector in the direction of the basket and if you ignore atmospheric effects, how far from the basket did the player shoot?"
