Question

A player kicks a soccer ball towards the goalkeeper, but at an angle of 36degrees to the horizontal with an initial speed speed of 14.7m/s. The goalkeeper stands 26.0m from the kicker. Where will the ball land relative to the goalkeeper?

Answer 1

The range of projectile:

$$R=\frac{v^2}{g}\sin{2(36)}$$

$$R=\frac{14.7^2}{9.8}\sin{72}=21.0\ m$$ $$s=d-R=26-21=5.0\ m$$

The ball lands 5.0 m before the goalkeeper.
