A soccer player kicks a football frombground level with an initial velocity of 27.0m/s, 30deg. Solve for the:
A. Ball's hang time
B. Range
C. Max Height
Ignore air resistance. (Hint: hang time refers to the time the ball is in the air.)
t= 2vₒ•sinα/g
L=vₒ²•sin2α/g,
h= vₒ²•sin²α/2g,
To solve for the hang time, range, and maximum height of the football, we can use the equations of motion for projectile motion.
Let's break down the initial velocity into its horizontal and vertical components.
Given:
Initial velocity (v₀): 27.0 m/s
Launch angle (θ): 30 degrees
A. Hang time (t):
To find the hang time, we need to calculate the time it takes for the football to reach the highest point before coming back down.
Using the vertical component of the initial velocity:
v₀ₙ = v₀ * sin(θ)
v₀ₙ = 27.0 m/s * sin(30°)
v₀ₙ = 27.0 m/s * 0.5
v₀ₙ = 13.5 m/s
Using the equation for time (t) in freefall motion:
v = v₀ₙ + gt
Where:
v₀ₙ = initial vertical velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²)
Rearranging the equation, we get:
t = (v - v₀ₙ) / g
Substituting the values:
t = (0 - 13.5 m/s) / (-9.8 m/s²)
t ≈ 1.38 seconds
Therefore, the ball's hang time is approximately 1.38 seconds.
B. Range (R):
To find the range, we need to calculate the horizontal distance traveled by the football.
Using the horizontal component of the initial velocity:
v₀ₕ = v₀ * cos(θ)
v₀ₕ = 27.0 m/s * cos(30°)
v₀ₕ = 27.0 m/s * 0.866
v₀ₕ ≈ 23.38 m/s
Using the equation for displacement (d) in uniform motion:
d = v₀ₕ * t
Substituting the values:
d = 23.38 m/s * 1.38 s
d ≈ 32.21 meters
Therefore, the range of the football is approximately 32.21 meters.
C. Maximum Height (H):
To find the maximum height, we need to calculate the vertical displacement of the football.
Using the equation for displacement (d) in freefall motion:
d = v₀ₙ * t + (1/2) * g * t²
Where:
d = 0 (since the ball will return to the initial height at the highest point)
v₀ₙ = 13.5 m/s (initial vertical velocity)
g = 9.8 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity)
t = hang time (1.38 seconds)
Rearranging the equation, we get:
0 = 13.5 m/s * 1.38 s + (1/2) * 9.8 m/s² * (1.38 s)²
Simplifying and solving for the maximum height:
H ≈ 9.84 meters
Therefore, the maximum height of the football is approximately 9.84 meters.
To solve for the hang time, range, and maximum height of the ball kicked by the soccer player, we can use the formulas of projectile motion. Let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Hang Time:
The hang time refers to the total time the ball stays in the air. To calculate it, we can use the equation:
Time of flight (T) = 2 * (initial vertical velocity) / (acceleration due to gravity)
In this case, the initial vertical velocity is given as 27.0 m/s * sin(30°), and the acceleration due to gravity can be approximated as 9.8 m/s^2. Plug in these values to find the hang time:
T = 2 * (27.0 m/s * sin(30°)) / 9.8 m/s^2
2. Range:
The range refers to the horizontal distance covered by the ball. To calculate it, we can use the equation:
Range (R) = (initial horizontal velocity) * (time of flight)
In this case, the initial horizontal velocity is given as 27.0 m/s * cos(30°). Plug in these values along with the calculated hang time from the previous step to find the range:
R = (27.0 m/s * cos(30°)) * T
3. Maximum Height:
The maximum height corresponds to the highest point reached by the ball during its trajectory. To calculate it, we can use the equation:
Maximum Height (H) = (initial vertical velocity)^2 / (2 * acceleration due to gravity)
In this case, the initial vertical velocity is given as 27.0 m/s * sin(30°). Plug in this value to find the maximum height:
H = (27.0 m/s * sin(30°))^2 / (2 * 9.8 m/s^2)
By following these steps and performing the necessary calculations, you can determine the hang time, range, and maximum height of the ball kicked by the soccer player.
