Final answer:
A soccer ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 18.0 m/s in the horizontal direction, the maximum height attained by the soccer ball is C. 25.0 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum height attained by the soccer ball can be found using the vertical motion equation:
vf² = vi² + 2ad
where
vf is the final velocity (0 m/s at maximum height)
vi is the initial velocity in the vertical direction (11.0 m/s)
a is the acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s²)
d is the vertical displacement (maximum height).
Rearranging the equation, we have:
d = (vf² - vi²) / (2a)
Substituting the given values, we get:
d = (0 - 11.0²) / (2(-9.8)) = 25.0 m
Therefore, the maximum height attained by the soccer ball is 25.0 meters.
So therefore the correct answer is C. 25.0 meters.
