Chapter 4, Problem 64PQ
David Beckham has lined up for one of his famous free kicks from a point 25.0 m from the goal. He kicks the soccer ball with a speed of 22.0 m/s at 28.0° to the horizontal. The height of the goal’s crossbar is 2.44 m. a. What is the distance from the crossbar with which the ball will go into the goal or sail over? b. Does the soccer ball reach the goal on its way up or on its way down?
