When a field goal kicker kicks a football as hard as he can at 45° to the horizontal, the ball just clears the 3-m high crossbar of the goalposts 45.7 m away. (a) What is the maximum speed the kicker can impart to the football? (b) In addition to clearing the crossbar, the football must be high enough in the air early during its flight to clear the reach of the onrushing defensive lineman. If the lineman is 4.6 m away and has a vertical reach of 2.5 m, can he block the 45.7-m field goal attempt? (c) What if the lineman is 1.0 m away?
A placekicker is about to kick a field goal. The ball is 20.4 m from the goalpost. The ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 23.4 m/s at an angle above the ground. Between what two angles, 8₁ and ₂, will the ball clear the 2.57-m-high crossbar? Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identities may be useful: sec 0-1/(cos) and sec²0-1+tan²8.) (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speed of the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0° above the horizontal? (Although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45° when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus, 38° will give a longer range than 45° in the shot put.)
