Question

During a football game Aiden kicks a ball from the ground at the 30-yard line. He gives the ball an initial speed of 20 meters per second, at an initial angle of 36.9 degrees.

a. One second after the kick how high is the ball above the ground measured in feet?

b. How far away will the ball land on the ground measured in yards?

Expert Solution

Step 1: Given data

Initial speed of ball is $u equals 20 space straight m divided by straight s$

The launch angle is $theta equals 36.9 to the power of degree$

Length of yard line is $L equals 30 space yard$

Note:

$1 space ft. equals 0.305 space straight m$

$1 space yard equals 0.914 space straight m$

Find:

(a) After one second how high is the ball above the ground.

(b) How far away will the ball land on the ground.
