Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45" over a level field. She watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. Assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizon and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. Consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. Take "north" and "up" as the positive x- and y-directions, respectively, and use g z 10 m/s for the downward acceleration due to gravity.

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. She watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands,
two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. Assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizonta
and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. Consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after
being kicked but before landing. Take "north" and "up" as the positive x- and y-directions, respectively, and use g z 10 m/s
for the downward acceleration due to gravity.
