A soccer ball is kicked with a velocity of 8.9 m/s at an angle of 38° above the horizontal. The keeper is standing 3.7 m away from forward who kicked the ball. The keeper is only 1.3 m tall and thinks they do not need to jump to stop the ball. Calculate the maximum height of the ball and the distance it will travel in the x- direction when it reaches that maximum height. Determine if the keeper will be able to save that shot?
