Question

A punter kicks a football at an angle of 44.0° to the ground. The football has an initial velocity of 28.0 m/s. Assume that forces due to air drag on the ball are insignificant. 1. How long is the football in the air? 2. How far does the football travel horizontally? 3. What is the maximum height of the football?

Step 1

The initial velocity of the football is given as 28.0 m/s at an angle of 44.0° to the ground. To find the horizontal (Vx) and vertical (Vy) components of this velocity, we use trigonometry: - Vx = V * cos(θ) = 28.0 m/s * cos(44.0°) - Vy = V * sin(θ) = 28.0 m/s * Show more…
