Question

A football is kickedat 23.4 m/s at a38.5° angle. How faraway does it land?(Unit = m)3:11 PM5/12/2621

Answer 1

The horizontal distance travelled by the football is,

$R=\frac{u^2\sin(2\emptyset)}{g}$

Substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} R=\frac{(23.4)^2\sin(2\times38.5)}{9.8} \\ R=54.44\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the horizontal distance travelled by the football is 54.44 m.
