An NBA Super Bowl player kicks a ball that spends 3s in the air and
lands 60 m ahead of him. Can you, the physicist, predict the speed at the top of the
trajectory without air resistance?
Horizontal distance moved by ball d = 60 m
total time of motion of ball t= 3s
speed along horizontal = d/t = 60 m /3s = 20 m/s
at top of motion there is only horizontal velocity and it remains constant so
at top speed of ball is 20 m/s.
thanks for asking.

a soccer player athlete kicks a ball at four different angles above the horizontal, each with the same speed: 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 60 degrees, and 80 degrees. which of the two kicks cause the ball to land at the same distance away? ignore air resistance. a. 40 and 80 b. 30 and 60 c. 30 and 80 d. 30 and 40 e. 40 and 60
A soccer player kicks the ball toward a goal that is 12.0 m in front of him. The ball leaves his foot at a speed of 13.5 m/s and an angle of 28.0 ° above the ground. Find the speed of the ball when the goalie catches it in front of the net.
A soccer player kicks the ball toward a goal that is 29.2 m in front of him. The ball leaves his foot at a speed of 19.5 m/s and an angle of 30.2° above the ground. Find the speed of the ball when the goalie catches it in front of the net. (Note: The answer is not 19.5 m/s.)
A soccer player kicks the ball toward a goal that is 29.0 m in front of him. The ball leaves his foot at a speed of 19.7 m/s and an angle of 30.6° above the ground. Find the speed of the ball when the goalie catches it in front of the net. (Note: The answer is not 19.7 m/s.) ________________ m/s
A soccer player kicks a ball at an angle of 60 degrees above the ground. The soccer ball hits the ground some distance away. Neglect any effects due to air resistance. Is there any point at which the soccer ball's velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other? No, because the vertical component of the velocity vector points in the same direction as the acceleration vector at all times. No, because the change in velocity vector and the acceleration...
with 1. A soccer player kicks the ball toward a goal that is 16.8 m in front of him. The ball leaves his foot at a speed of 16.0 m/s at an angle of 28° above the ground. Calculate the: (a) time that elapsed before the goalie caught it in front of the net? and (b) speed of the ball when the goalie caught it? mal
A soccer goal is 2.44 m high. A player kicks the ball at a distance 11 m from the goal at an angle of 40, and the ball just hits the top of the goal. What is the initial speed of the soccer ball (in m/s)?
The place kicker on a football team kicks a ball from ground level with an initial speed of 8.60 m/s at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. (a) How long is the ball in the air, in seconds, before it lands on the ground again? Find in seconds. You may neglect air resistance. (b) How far does it travel in the horizontal direction?
A player kicks a ball with an initial vertical velocity of 12 m/s and horizontal velocity of 16 m/s. a) At what speed does the ball hit the ground? b) For how long does the ball remain in the air? c) What maximum height is attained by the ball?
2) A soccer player kicks a stationary ball giving it a speed of 20.0 m/s at an angle of 15 to the horizontal. (a) (8 Points) What is the maximum height reached by the ball? (b) (8 Points) How long is the ball in the air? (c) (6 Points) How far in the x-direction does the ball travel?
