Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that air resistance is negligible, we can use the following kinematic equations to solve for the peak height:
v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad
where v_f = 0 m/s (at the peak height) and a = -9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)
and
d = v_i t + (1/2)at^2
where d is the displacement or the peak height we want to find, v_i is the initial velocity, t is the time it takes to reach the peak height.
First, we need to resolve the initial velocity into its vertical and horizontal components:
v_i_x = v_i cos(30°) = 121.1 m/s
v_i_y = v_i sin(30°) = 70.0 m/s
Next, we can use the vertical component of the initial velocity to find the time it takes to reach the peak height:
v_f = v_i_y + at
0 m/s = 70.0 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^2)t
t = 7.14 s
Finally, we can use the time we found and the kinematic equation for displacement to find the peak height:
d = v_i_y t + (1/2)at^2
d = (70.0 m/s)(7.14 s) + (1/2)(-9.8 m/s^2)(7.14 s)^2
d = 247.5 m
Therefore, the peak height of the football is 247.5 meters.
