A soccer ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 18.0 meters per second, at an angle of 24.0o above horizontal. What is the horizontal component of the velocity vector when the ball is landing on the ground again?
 
−7.32 m/s
 
16.4 m/s
 
7.32 m/s
 
−16.4 m/s

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

When the ball is kicked, calculate the horiozntal component of the initial velocity.

uH=ucosθuH=(18 m/s)cos24°uH=16.4 m/s
