For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.

For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How long does it take for the ball to reach the goal?

Let the distance between the kicker and the goal be x meters.

Horizontal velocity of the ball will always be 26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree} until it lands if there's no air resistance.

The ball will arrive at the goal in \displaystyle \frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}} seconds after it leaves the kicker.

What will be the height of the ball when it reaches the goal?

Consider the equation

\displaystyle h(t) = -\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2} + v_{0,\;\text{vertical}} \cdot t + h_0.

For this soccer ball:

  • g = 9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2},
  • v_{0,\;\text{vertical}} = 26.2\times \sin{34.2\textdegree{}}\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2},
  • h_0 = 0 since the player kicks the ball "from ground level."

\displaystyle t=\frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}}

when the ball reaches the goal.

\displaystyle h= - 9.81 \times \frac{x^2}{(26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree})^2} + (26.2 \times \sin{34.2\textdegree})\times\frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}} \\\phantom{h} = -\frac{9.81}{(26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree})^2}\cdot x^{2} + \frac{\sin{34.2\textdegree}}{\cos{34.2\textdegree}}\cdot x.

Solve this quadratic equation for x, x > 0.

  • x = 65.1 meters when h = 0 meters.
  • x = 6.54 or 58.5 meters when h = 4 meters.

In other words,

  • For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.
  • For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.

<span>The expected boiling point of a substance increases with an increasing molar mass of the substance. So I would expect the lighter compounds to boil at lower temperature. Also more polar molecules tend to boil at higher temperature. Pentane is the lightest of all three compounds, so it should boil the soonest. Heptane is a lot heavier than Pentane, but slightly lighter than Heptanol. So it should boil next. Heptanol is the heaviest of all of the molecules and is also quite polar compared to heptane. So it should have the highest of all the boiling points.</span>
