14PRACTICE PROBLEM
A basketball is passed between two players standing 10 meters apart on the same horizontal plane. If the ball is thrown with an initial velocity of 15 m/s horizontally, estimate by what percentage gravity changes the magnitude of the ball's velocity when it is caught by the receiving player. Assume no air resistance and spin effects.
