Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

Arianna kicks a soccer ball into the air with an initial velocity = 42 feet per second

If the starting height of the ball is 0 feet then we have to find the approximate maximum height the soccer ball attached.

Since we know vertical motion is represented by

v² = u² - 2gh

Where v = final velocity of the object

u = initial velocity of the object

g = gravitational force

h = h = maximum height achieved by the object

Here v = 0, u = 42 feet per second and g = 32 feet per second²

Now we plug in these values in the formula

0 = (42)² - 2(32)(h)

1764 = 64h


h=(1764)/(64)

h = 27.56 feet

≈ 27.60 feet

Therefore, maximum height achieved by the soccer ball is 27.6 feet.

Option D is the answer.
