A placekicker kicks a football at an angle of 23.0 degrees with respect to horizontal and the initial speed of the ball is 32.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. During its trajectory, i.e. during the time right after the football is kicked and just before it hits the ground downfield, what are its maximum and minimum speeds?

Question
A placekicker kicks a football at an angle of 23.0 degrees with respect to horizontal and the initial speed of the ball is 32.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. During its trajectory, i.e. during the time right after the football is kicked and just before it hits the ground downfield, what are its maximum and minimum speeds?
Expert Solution

Step 1
Since, it is known that maximum velocity occurs at initial and final points, that is just right after kicking the ball OR just before hitting the ground.
Hence, maximum velocity during the trajectory is 32 m/s only.
