Suppose you kick a soccer ball so that its initial velocity (just after it leaves contact with your foot) makes a 40 degree angle with the level ground. (The soccer ball was sitting on the ground when you kicked it.) Ignoring air resistance, as the soccer ball travels through the air, at what point in its flight does it have the smallest speed? a. Just after it leaves your foot b. At the highest point in its trajectory c. Just before it lands back on the ground d. Halfway between the point where you kicked it and the highest point in its flight e. Halfway between the highest point in its flight and the point where it hits the ground again
