A tennis player serves a ball horizontally, giving it a speed of 24 m/s from a height of 2.5 m. The player is 12 m from the net. The top of the net is 0.90 m above the court surface. The ball clears the net and lands on the other side. Air resistance is negligible.
(a) For how long is the ball airborne?
(b) What is the horizontal displacement?
(c) What is the velocity at impact?
(d) By what distance does the ball clear the net?
