Question

2.Cowboys kicker Brett Maher kicks the ball off at 25 m/s at an angle of 60° determine the horizontal distance traveled by the ball

Answer 1

Given data:

* The initial velocity of the ball is 25m/s.

* The angle of the initial velocity with the horizontal is 60 degree.

* The final velocity of the ball at the maximum height is 0 m/s.

Solution:

By the kinematics equation, the vertical motion of the ball to the maximum height is,

`v-u=-gt`

where v is the final velocity at th
