Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

In U.S. football, after a touchdown the team has the opportunity to earn one more point by kicking the ball over the bar between the goal posts. The bar is 10.0 ft above the ground, and the ball is kicked from ground level, 36.0 ft horizontally from the bar (the figure (Figure 1)). Football regulations are stated in English units, but convert to SI units for this problem. If the ball is kicked at 37 above the horizontal, what must its initial speed be if it to just clear the bar? Express your answer in m/s. If the ball is kicked at 37 above the horizontal, what must its initial speed be if it to just clear the bar? Express your answer in km/h.
