A soccer player is practicing on the field. He kicks a ball with a speed of 32 m/s at a 53-degree angle with respect to the horizontal toward the net. If the horizontal bar of the goal is 2.3 meters above the ground and he is standing 35-yards in from of the goal, does he score a goal or does the ball soar above the net?
Answer this question by finding the height of the ball above the ground when it reaches the net.
A projectile is fired vertically from Earth's surface with an initial speed of 10 km/s. Neglecting air drag, how far above surface of Earth will it go? (Convert to m/s)
Please give a detailed calculation of this problem.
Thanks!
A cannon is firing from the top of a hill, forming a π/6 angle with the horizontal plane. The barrel of the cannon form a certain height with the horizontal plane at the time of the firing, and its is fired so that the projectile lands on the bottom part of the hill 6 kilometers from the cannon. Determine the projectile's minimum speed at the time it was shot from the barrel, as well as the magnitude of the barrel's elevation. Ignore any opposing forces.
