A player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory

____ [38]

At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball's acceleration is zero but its velocity is not zero.

<h3>What's the velocity of the ball at the highest point of the trajectory?</h3>

At the highest point, the ball doesn't go more high. So its vertical velocity is zero.
However, the ball moves horizontal, so its horizontal component of velocity is non - zero i.e. u×cosθ.
u= initial velocity, θ= angle of projection

<h3>What's the acceleration of the ball at the highest point of projectile?</h3>

During the whole projectile motion, the earth exerts the gravitational force with a acceleration of gravity along vertical direction.
But as there's no acceleration along vertical direction, so the acceleration along vertical direction is zero.

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration is zero and velocity is non-zero at the highest point projectile motion.

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of(16.6 {\rm m/s} ){\hat x}. Ignoring air resistance, the average acc

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A) 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j B) 23.9 m/s c) 46º below horizontal.

Explanation:

A) Once released, the football is not under the influence of any external force in the horizontal direction, so it continues moving at a constant speed equal to the initial velocity, i.e., 16.6 m/s.

If we choose the horizontal direction to be coincident with the x-axis, and make positive the direction towards the right (assuming that this was the direction along which the football was thrown), we can write the horizontal component of the veelocity vector, as follows:

vₓ = 16.6 m/s i

In the vertical direction, the football, once released, is in free fall, starting from rest.

So, we can find the vertical component of the velocity vector, at a given point in time, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vy = a*t = -g*t = -9.81 m/s²*1.75 s = -17.2 m/s

Assuming that the upward direction is the positive for the y-axis (perpendicular to the chosen x-axis), we can write the vertical component of the velocity vector, at t=1.75 s, as follows:

vy = -17.2 m/s j

So, the velocity vector, in terms of the unit vectors i and j, can be written in this way:

v = 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j

b) The magnitude of this vector can be found applying trigonometry, as the magnitude is the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides equal to vx and vy, as follows:

$v =\sqrt{(16.6m/s)^{2}+ (-17.2m/s)^{2}} = 23.9 m/s$
