A soccer player kicked a ball with an initial velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 45 degrees with horizontal. Calculate the time of flight, range, and the height of the ball. Show your work.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the soccer player, u = 30 m/s

It is launched at an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal.

1. Time of flight :

The time taken by the projectile in the air and to comes to ground is called the time of flight. It is given by :

[tex]T=\dfrac{2u\ sin\theta}{g}[/tex]

[tex]T=\dfrac{2(30)\ sin(45)}{9.8}[/tex]

T = 4.32 seconds

2. Range of the projectile

The horizontal distance covered by the projectile is called its range. It is given by :

[tex]R=\dfrac{u^2\ sin2\theta}{g}[/tex]

[tex]R=\dfrac{(30)^2\ sin2(45)}{9.8}[/tex]

R = 91.83 meters

3. Maximum height reached by the ball is given by :

[tex]H=\dfrac{(u\ sin\theta)^2}{2g}[/tex]

[tex]H=\dfrac{(30\times \ sin(45))^2}{2\times 9.8}[/tex]

H = 22.95 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
