A new Olympic sport has been created: The Olympic Kick. Your team has been hired to use your biomechanics expertise to bring home the gold for your team. In order to do this, you need to extract simple measures to calculate the projectile characteristics. Horizontal Displacement Flight time(s) Horizontal Velocity Vertical Velocity Projectile Velocity Projection Angle Vertical Distance Kick 1 16.2 (m) 1.46 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Kick 2 18.9 (m) 1.72 [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] Kick 3 18.45 (m) 1.63 [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

Step 1
2 \, m}{1.46 \, s} \approx 11.1 \, m/s \] For Kick 2: \[ Vx_2 = \frac{18.9 \, m}{1.72 \, s} \approx 11.0 \, m/s \] For Kick 3: \[ Vx_3 = \frac{18.45 \, m}{1.63 \, s} \approx 11.3 \, m/s \] Show more…

A new Olympic sport has been created: The Dodgeball Kick. Your team has been hired to use biomechanics expertise to bring home the gold for your team. In order to do this, you need to extract simple measures to calculate the projectile characteristics. Horizontal Displacement | Flight time(s) | Horizontal Velocity | Vertical Velocity | Projectile Velocity Kick 1 | 16.2 (m) | 1.46 | | 7.16 | 31.64 Kick 2 | 18.9 (m) | 1.72 | | 8.44 | Kick 3 | 18.45 (m) | 1.63 | | 7.99 |

In the Olympic shotput event, an athlete throws the shot with an initial speed of 10 m/s at a 40 degree angle from the horizontal. The shot leaves her hand at a height of 1.8 m above the ground. a) What is the horizontal component of the velocity? b) What is the vertical component of the velocity? c) What is the value for the time the shotput is in the air? d) How far did the shotput travel horizontally?
