Question
In a football game a kicker attempts a field goal. The ball remains in contact with the kicker’s foot for 0.0580 s, during which time it experiences an acceleration of 376 m/s2. The ball is launched at an angle of 59.9° above the ground. Determine the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the launch velocity.

Answer:
V₀ₓ = 10.94 m/s
V₀y = 18.87 m/s
Explanation:
To find the launch velocity, we use 1st equation of motion.
Vf = Vi + at
where,
Vf = Final Velocity of Ball = Launch Speed = V₀ = ?
Vi = Initial Velocity = 0 m/s (Since ball was initially at rest)
a = acceleration = 376 m/s²
t = time = 0.058 s
Therefore,
V₀ = 0 m/s + (376 m/s²)(0.058 s)
V₀ = 21.81 m/s
Now, for x-component:
V₀ₓ = V₀ Cos θ
where,
V₀ₓ = x-component of launch velocity = ?
θ = Angle with horizontal = 59.9⁰
V₀ₓ = (21.81 m/s)(Cos 59.9°)
V₀ₓ = 10.94 m/s
for y-component:
V₀ₓ = V₀ Sin θ
where,
V₀y = y-component of launch velocity = ?
θ = Angle with horizontal = 59.9⁰
V₀y = (21.81 m/s)(Sin 59.9°)
V₀y = 18.87 m/s
