A player kicks a football from ground level with an initial velocity of 27.0 m/s, 30.0° above the
horizontal, as shown in the figure. Assume that forces from the air on the ball are negligible.
Find the ball's hang time (time of flight).

A-2 s
B-2.8 s
C-8.77 S
D-6 s

Answer:

Option B. 2.8 s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 27 m/s

Angle of projection (θ) = 30

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time of flight (T) =?

The time of flight of the ball can be obtained as follow:

T = 2uSineθ / g

T = 2 × 27 × Sine 30 / 9.8

T = 2 × 27 × 0.5 / 9.8

T = 27 / 9.8

T = 2.8 s

Therefore, time of flight of the ball is 2.8 s
