a place kicker must kick a football from a point 32.0 m from the goal. As a resultof the kick, the ball must clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 23.0 m/s at an angle of 53 degrees to the horizontal. To determine if the ball clears the crossbar, what is the height with respect to thr crossbar when it reaches the plane of the crossbar?

To determine the height of the football with respect to the crossbar when it reaches the plane of the crossbar, we need to analyze the projectile motion of the ball.

We can break down the initial velocity of the ball into its horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal component remains constant, while the vertical component is influenced by the acceleration due to gravity.

Given:
Initial speed (v₀) = 23.0 m/s
Launch angle (θ) = 53 degrees
Distance from the point of kicking to the goal (range) = 32.0 m
Height of the crossbar (h) = 3.05 m

First, let's find the time it takes for the ball to reach the plane of the crossbar. For this, we'll use the horizontal component of the velocity:

Horizontal component of velocity (v₀x) = v₀ * cos(θ)

v₀x = 23.0 m/s * cos(53°)
v₀x ≈ 12.862 m/s

Next, we can calculate the time of flight (t) by dividing the range by the horizontal component of velocity:

Range (R) = v₀x * t
32.0 m = 12.862 m/s * t

Solving for t:
t ≈ 2.49 seconds

Now, let's find the maximum height (H) reached by the ball. We'll use the vertical component of velocity:

Vertical component of velocity (v₀y) = v₀ * sin(θ)

v₀y = 23.0 m/s * sin(53°)
v₀y ≈ 18.278 m/s

Using the equation for vertical displacement:

H = v₀y² / (2 * g)

g = 9.8 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity)
H ≈ (18.278 m/s)² / (2 * 9.8 m/s²)
H ≈ 32.97 m

Since the height of the crossbar is 3.05 m, we can subtract this value from the maximum height to determine the height with respect to the crossbar:

Height with respect to the crossbar = H - h
Height with respect to the crossbar ≈ 32.97 m - 3.05 m
Height with respect to the crossbar ≈ 29.92 m

Therefore, when the ball reaches the plane of the crossbar, its height with respect to the crossbar is approximately 29.92 meters.
