A ball is kicked off the ground reaching a maximum height of 60m and lands 80m away. Calculate the initial speed and the angle above the horizontal of the ball when it was kicked
Added by Michael M.
Step 1
Use the formula: R = U^2 * sin(2*theta) / g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2). Substitute the values: 80 = U^2 * sin(2*theta) / 9.8 Solve for U: U = sqrt(80 * 9.8 / sin(2*theta)) Show more…

A soccer ball is kicked from the ground at a $45^{\circ}$ angle with an initial velocity of 40 feet per second. The height of the soccer ball above the ground is given by $H(x)=-0.0128 x^{2}+x,$ where $x$ is the horizontal distance the ball travels. a. What is the maximum height the ball reaches? b. What is the horizontal distance the ball travels?
