Its velocity is perpendicular to the acceleration.
Its velocity and acceleration are both zero.
The horizontal component of its velocity is zero.
1) A kicked football.A football is kicked at an angle 0=37.0° with a velocity of 20.0m/s, as shown. Calculate (a) the maximum height, (b) the timeof travel before the football hits the ground, (c) how far away ithits the ground, (d) the velocity vector at the maximum height,and (e) the acceleration vector at maximum height. Assume theball leaves the foot at ground level, and ignore air resistanceand rotation of the ball.
A ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 17.0 m/s in the horizontal direction and 14.0 m/s in the vertical direction. (Assume the ball is kicked from the ground.)
a) at what speed (in m/s) does the ball hit the ground ? b) for how long (in s) does the ball remain the air ? c) what maximum height (in m) is attained by the ball?
