Answer:

The football must be launched whit an angle of 20,487 degrees to reach a maximum height of 10 meters.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the parabolic motion equations:

We define:

v_{i}: total initial speed  =40\frac{m}{s}

v_{iy}:initial speed component in vertical direction (y) =v_{i} sin\alpha

v_{y}: vertical speed at any point on the parabolic path

g= acceleration of gravity= 9,8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

\alpha= angle that forms the total initial velocity with the ground

Equation of the speed of the football in the vertical direction :

(v_{y} )^{2}=(v_{iy} )^{2} -2*g*y  Equation (1)  

We replacev_{iy} =40*sin\alpha, g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }  in the equation (1):

(v_{y} )^{2} =(40*sin\alpha )^{2} -2*9.8*y Equation(2)

Angle calculation

The speed of the football in the vertical direction gradually decreases until its value is zero when it reaches the maximum height.

We replacev_{y} =0 , y=10 in the equation (2)

0=(40*sin\alpha )^{2} -2*9.8*10

0=1600*(sin\alpha )^{2} -196

\frac{196}{1600} =(sen\alpha )^{2}

0.1225=(sin\alpha )^{2}

\sqrt{0.1225} =sin\alpha

0.35=sin\alpha

\alpha =20.487 °

Answer:The football must be launched whit an angle of 20,487 degrees to reach a maximum height of 10 meters.

A tennis player strikes a tennis ball from underneath with her racket. The ball is sent straight up with an initial velocity of
Stels [109]
So the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s so that’s how quickly it will accelerate downwards. You can use a kinematic equation to determine your answer. We know that initial velocity was 19 m/s, final velocity must be 0 m/s because it’s at the very top, and the acceleration is -9.8 m/s. You can then use this equation:

Vf^2=Vo^2+2ax

Plugging in values:

361=19.6x

X=18 m
