The place kicker on a football team kicks a ball from ground level with an initial speed of 8.30 m/s at an angle of 19.0° above the horizontal. How long is the ball in the air before it lands on the ground again? You may neglect air resistance.

.57

To find the time the ball stays in the air, we can use the equation for time of flight of a projectile:

Time of flight = (2 * initial vertical velocity) / acceleration due to gravity

Since the initial velocity of the ball has both horizontal and vertical components, we need to find the vertical component of the velocity.

Vertical velocity = initial velocity * sin(angle)

Plugging in the values:

Vertical velocity = 8.30 m/s * sin(19.0°) = 2.85 m/s

Now we can calculate the time of flight:

Time of flight = (2 * 2.85 m/s) / 9.8 m/s² = 0.582 seconds

Therefore, the ball is in the air for approximately 0.582 seconds before it lands on the ground again.

To find the time the ball is in the air before it lands, we can use the kinematic equation for vertical motion. The vertical motion of the ball can be treated as projectile motion, where the only force acting on it is gravity.

Given:
Initial speed (v₀) = 8.30 m/s
Launch angle (θ) = 19.0° above the horizontal
Gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s²

First, we need to find the time it takes for the ball to reach its highest point. We can use the vertical component of the initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity.

Vertical velocity (v₀y) = v₀ * sin(θ)
Time to reach maximum height (t_max) = v₀y / g

Next, we can find the total time of flight by doubling the time it takes to reach the maximum height.

Total time of flight (t_total) = 2 * t_max

Finally, we have the time the ball is in the air before it lands.

Let's calculate it:

v₀y = 8.30 m/s * sin(19.0°)
t_max = v₀y / g
t_total = 2 * t_max

Plug in the values and calculate:

v₀y = 8.30 m/s * sin(19.0°)
v₀y ≈ 8.30 m/s * 0.3249
v₀y ≈ 2.6927 m/s

t_max = 2.6927 m/s / 9.8 m/s²
t_max ≈ 0.2755 s

t_total = 2 * 0.2755 s
t_total ≈ 0.5510 s

So, the ball is in the air for approximately 0.5510 seconds before it lands on the ground again.
