Answer:
The speed of the soccer ball at height point is less than its initial speed
Explanation:
The initial velocity of the soccer can be written in vector form as
where
is initial velocity of the ball
v is the initial speed of the ball
Assume soccer ball is kicked at an angle θ with an horizontal and initial speed vm/s. Its horizontal component will be as,
At the maximum height, the vertical component becomes zero. therefore, the velocity of the soccer at the maximum point can be written as,
where,
is velocity of the soccer ball at maximum height
