Question

A player kicks a soccer ball from ground level and sends it flying at an angle of 30 degrees at a speed of 26 m/s. What is the horizontal velocity component of the ball?

Answer 1

Given,

A player kicks a soccer hits at an angle of 30° at a speed of 26 m/s

We can resolute the trajectory of soccer into horizontal and vertical components.(Please see the attached file)

We can have,

Horizontal velocity component of ball= 26cos(30°)  = 26×(√3÷2) = 22.51 m/s

And vertical velocity component of ball = 26sin(26°) = 26×(1÷2) = 13 m/s
