Question

A soccer player kicks a stationary ball. Giving it a speed of 30m/s at an angle 37 degrees to the horizontal.  

A) What is the maximum height reached by the ball

B) What is the horizontal range of the ball?

Answer 1

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s²

Initial velocity of the ball = V = 30 m/s

Angle of the initial velocity of the ball = = 37^o

Maximum height reached by the ball = H

For projectile motion maximum height reached is given by,

H = 16.61 m

Horizontal range of the ball = R

For projectile motion horizontal range is given by,

R = 88.19 m

A) Maximum height reached by the ball = 16.61 m

B) Horizontal range of the ball = 88.19 m
