(a) During a tennis match, a player serves at 23.6 m/s (as recorded by radar gun), with the ball leaving the racquet 2.37 m above the court surface, horizontally. By how much does the ball clear the net, which is 12 m away and 0.90 m high? (b) Suppose the player serves the ball as before except that the ball leaves the racquet at 5.0° below the horizontal. Does the ball clear the net now?
