1. A player lines up to kick a 40 m goal. In the first attempt, the ball has an initial velocity of 20 m/s at angle of 55.0 degrees. The goal posts are 3 m high. Once the ball passes above the field goal post (i.e., after it has travelled 40 m in the horizontal direction), it is deemed successful. (a) Determine if the goal kicker's first attempt is successful. (b) If the kicker changes the angle of kicking to 30 degrees and the initial velocity so that it JUST reaches the goal post. Determine the new initial velocity of ball.

Question
1. A player lines up to kick a 40 m goal. In
the first attempt, the ball has an initial
velocity of 20 m/s at angle of 55.0 degrees.
The goal posts are 3 m high. Ônce the ball
passes above the field goal post (i.e., after
it has travelled 40 m in the horizontal
direction), it is deemed successful.
(a) Determine if the goal kicker's first
attempt is successful. (b) If the kicker
changes the angle of kicking to 30 degrees
and the initial velocity so that it JUST
reaches the goal post. Determine the new
initial velocity of ball.
