A soccer ball is kicked with an initial speed of 27 m/s at an angle of 20° with respect to the horizontal.
A) find the maximum height reached by the ball.
B) find the speed of the ball when it is at the highest point on its trajectory.
C) where does the ball land? That is what is the range of the ball?
Vo = 27m/s @ 20 Deg.
Xo = 27*cos20 = 25.4 m/s = Hor. comp.
Yo = 27*sin20 = 9.2 m/s. = Ver. comp.
A. h = (Y^2-Yo^2)/ 2g.
h = (0-(9.2)^2 / -19.6 = 4.35 m.
B. V = 0 @ max. ht.
C. R = Vo^2*sin(2A)/g.
R = (27)^2*sin40 / 9.8 = 47.8 m.
To answer these questions, we can use the principles of projectile motion and the equations of motion.
A) To find the maximum height reached by the ball, we can use the kinematic equation for vertical motion. The vertical motion of the soccer ball can be analyzed independently of the horizontal motion. The equation to determine the maximum height is given by:
h_max = (v^2 * sin^2θ) / (2 * g)
Where:
h_max is the maximum height reached by the ball
v is the initial speed of the ball (27 m/s)
θ is the angle of projection (20°)
g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2)
Plugging in the given values:
h_max = (27^2 * sin^2(20°)) / (2 * 9.8)
h_max ≈ 19.13 meters
Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is approximately 19.13 meters.
B) To find the speed of the ball when it is at the highest point on its trajectory, we can use the fact that the vertical component of velocity becomes zero at the maximum height, while the horizontal component of velocity remains constant. Therefore, we only need to consider the horizontal component of the initial velocity. The equation to calculate the horizontal component of velocity is:
v_x = v * cosθ
Where:
v_x is the horizontal component of velocity
v is the initial speed of the ball (27 m/s)
θ is the angle of projection (20°)
Plugging in the given values:
v_x = 27 * cos(20°)
v_x ≈ 25.56 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the ball at the highest point of its trajectory is approximately 25.56 m/s.
C) To find the range of the ball, we need to determine the horizontal distance traveled by the ball. The equation for range is given by:
R = (v^2 * sin2θ) / g
Where:
R is the range of the ball
v is the initial speed of the ball (27 m/s)
θ is the angle of projection (20°)
g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2)
Plugging in the given values:
R = (27^2 * sin(2 * 20°)) / 9.8
R ≈ 65.98 meters
Therefore, the ball lands at approximately 65.98 meters away from its initial position.
