Nerd-A-Pult #2 - Another Projectile Motion Problem

The video tutorial explores a projectile motion problem using the Nerd-A-Pult. The problem involves calculating where a basket should be placed horizontally for a ball to land in it, given its initial speed and angle. The tutorial first attempts to solve the problem using the quadratic formula but then demonstrates an alternative method that avoids it. The solution involves breaking down the initial velocity into components, calculating the final velocity in the y direction, and determining the change in time. The tutorial concludes with a review of the steps and emphasizes understanding each part of the process.

What is the final velocity in the y direction just before the ball lands?

How do you calculate the displacement in the x direction?

What is the significance of converting meters to centimeters in this problem?

What are the steps taken to solve for the final velocity in the y direction?
