1. A soccer player is positioned 100ft from a wall, which is 35ft high. The player wants the ball to clear the top of the wall and land 50ft inside the wall. If the player kicked the ball with an initial velocity of 80ft/s, then at what angle should the ball be kicked so that it travels 150ft and pass over the wall. Use g=32.2ft/s^2. a. 65.50 degrees b. 32.20 degrees. c. 24.50 degrees d. 74.80 degrees.
