CHAPTER 3 Motion in a Plane
EXAMPLE 3.6 Kicking a field goal
In this example we will look at the more complex question of whether or not a projectile will clear a certain
height at a specific point in its trajectory. Consider a field goal attempt, where a football is kicked from a
point on the ground that is a horizontal distance d from the goalpost. For the attempt to be successful, the
the kicker's foot with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. What is the dis-
ball must clear the crossbar, 10 ft (about 3.05 m) above the ground, as shown in Figure 3.16. The ball leaves
tance d between kicker and goalpost if the ball barely clears the crossbar on its way back down?
SOLUTION
SET UP We use our idealized model of projectile motion, in which we
assume level ground, ignore the effects of air resistance, and treat the
football as a point particle. We place the origin of coordinates at the
point where the ball is kicked. Then xo = = 0,
Vax=Uo cos 30.0°= (20.0 m/s) (0.866) = 17.3 m/s, and
Voy Do sin 30.0°= (20.0 m/s) (0.500)= 10.0 m/s.
SOLVE We first ask when (i.e., at what value of t) the ball is at a height
of 3.05 m above the ground; then we find the value of x at that time.
When that value of x is equal to the distance d, the ball is just barely
passing over the crossbar.
To find the time
when y = 3.05 m, we use the equation
y = y + Voyt - gr². Substituting numerical values, we obtain
3.05 m = (10.0 m/s)t - (4.90 m/s²)².
This is a quadratic equation; to solve it, we first write it in standard
form: (4.90 m/s²)² (10.0 m/s)t + 3.05 m = 0. Then we use the
quadratic formula. (See Chapter 0 if you need to review it.) We get
2(4.9 m/s²)
x (10.0 m/s
= 0.373 s, 1.67 s.
± √(10.0 m/s)2 - 4(4.90 m/s²) (3.05 m)
There are two roots: t = 0.373 s and t = 1.67 s. The ball passes the
height 3.05 m twice, once on the way up and once on the way down.
We need to find the value of x at each of these times, using the equation
for x as a function of time. Because xo = 0, we have simply x = Vod.

The ball will have sufficient height to clear the goalpost
at two different values of x. However, only the height at
x = d describes the ball on its way back down.
For t = 0.373 s, we get x = (17.3 m/s) (0.373 s) = 6.45 m, and for
t = 1.67 s, we get x = (17.3 m/s) (1.67 s) = 28.9 m. So, if the goal-
post is located between 6.45 m and 28.9 m from the initial point, the
ball will pass over the crossbar; otherwise, it will pass under it.
REFLECT The distance of 28.9 m is about 32 yd; field goal attempts
are often successful at that distance. The ball passes the height y = 10 ft
twice, once on the way up (when t = 0.373 s) and once on the way
down (when t = 1.67 s). To verify this, we could calculate u, at both
times; when we do, we find that it is positive (upward) at t = 0.373 s
and negative (downward) with the same magnitude at t = 1.67 s.
