A soccer ball is kicked from the ground. After traveling a horizontal distance of 35m, it just passes over a 1.5m tall fence before hitting the ground 37m from where it was kicked. How far has the ball travelled horizontally to reach the maximum height?

Respuesta :

1.5 is the correct answer i play soccer to

Answer:

18.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

As the maximum height ona projectile motion that starts from the ground and finishes at the ground is simmetric, the maximum height of the projectile will be found exactly at half of the distance tranveled horizontally, so the exact half of the total distance traveled horizontally is 18.5 meters, since distance is 37 meters and divided by 2 is 18.5.

The ball will travel 18.5 meters to reach its maximum height.
