Find the time the soccer ball will be in air.
Answer to Problem 73STP
The soccer ball will be in the air for 2.26 sec.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A soccer ball is kicked with an initial upward velocity of 35 ft/ sec from a starting height of 2.5 ft. If no one touches the ball, how long will it be in the air? Use the formula
Concept Used:
Use the vertical motion formula
To find the time the ball will be in the air , substitute h = 0 and solve for the time from the vertical motion formula.
Calculation:
The starting velocity is 35 ft/sec, when the ball is 2.5 ft high.
So,
So, the vertical motion formula will be:
To find the soccer ball will be in the air , substitute h = 0
Let h = 0
Now solve for the time t
Time cannot be negative, so the soccer ball will be in the air for 2.26 sec.
Thus, the soccer ball will be in the air for 2.26 sec.
