A basketball player throws a ball at 60° to the horizontal at a net 4.0m away. The height of the net is 3.3m. The ball leaves hi
s hands at a height 2.0m from the ground. What is the initial speed of the ball?
Th pic above is my ans, but it's quite wierd. So if it's wrong, what is the correct ans, and why my ans is wrong(what mistakes i did). Thanks

Excellent work!
Your calculations are correct, but near the end, you have forgotten to cancel u. If you cancel the u, the linear term becomes a constant, and the resultant equation becomes a simple quadratic which is much easier to solve.
I get u=7.468 m/s using g=9.81 (as you did)
You will rework and should get 7.468 m/s as well.
Congrats for the good work!

An element which is highly conductive, highly reactive, soft, and lustrous is most likely an alkali metal.
Alkali metals are in group 1 of the Periodic table which means that they have only a single valence electron.
This causes them to be soft and highly reactive because:
- The single valance electron leads to weak bonds amongst the element's atoms which makes them soft
- The elements want to lose the single valance electron so as to become stable so they will react with other elements to give away the electron.
Examples of alkali electrons include:
- Lithium
- Sodium
- Potassium etc
In conclusion therefore, alkali metals are highly reactive and soft and so the element described above is most likely an alkali metal.
