Sagot :

The break shot speed of the player is determined as 96.5 ft/s.

Time of motion of the player

use the following kinematic equation to determine the time of motion of the player.

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²

h = ¹/₂gt²

t = √(2h/g)

t = √(2 x 2.75/32.17)

t = 0.171 s

break shot speed

vx = x/t

vx = 16.5 ft / 0.171 s

vx = 96.5 ft/s

Thus, the break shot speed of the player is determined as 96.5 ft/s.
