If a player kicks a football from ground level with a velocity of
27.0 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal, then how
long is the ball in the air?
Use g-9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.

Respuesta :

The time for which the football will stay in the air is equal to 2.75 s.

What are velocity components?

The projectile travels a parabolic path due to the effect of gravity. No horizontal forces act on it so there is no horizontal acceleration.

The velocity of a projectile has a horizontal component and a vertical component.

The vertical component of the velocity is, [tex]\displaystyle V_y = Vsin\theta[/tex]

The horizontal component of the velocity is, [tex]\displaystyle V_x = Vcos\theta[/tex]

Given the angle θ of the football with the X- axis = 30°

The velocity of the football V = 27 m/s

The Y component of the velocity, Vy = 27× sin30°

Vy = 13.5 m/s

The time for which football is in the air,

T = 2Vy/g = 2×13.5/9.8 = 2.75 s
