Question
A goalie kicks a soccer ball straight vertically into the air. It takes 5.00 s for the ball to reach its maximum height and come back down to the level of the crossbar. Assume the crossbar of a soccer goal is 2.44 m above the ground. (a) How fast was the ball originally moving when it was kicked. (b) How much longer would it take the ball to reach the ground?

Answer:
(a) vo = 24.98m/s
(b) t = 5.09 s
Explanation:
(a) In order to calculate the the initial speed of the ball, you use the following formula:
y: vertical position of the ball = 2.44m
yo: initial vertical position = 0m
vo: initial speed of the ball = ?
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s²
t: time on which the ball is at 2.44m above the ground = 5.00s
You solve the equation (1) for vo and replace the values of the other parameters:
The initial speed of the ball is 24.98m/s
(b) To find the time the ball takes to arrive to the ground you use the equation (1) for y = 0m (ground) and solve for t:
The time that the ball takes to arrive to the ground is 5.09s
