A soccer player takes a free kick from a spot that is 17 m from the goal. The ball leaves his foot at an angle of 38 ∘, and it eventually hits the crossbar of the goal, which is 2.4 m from the ground.Question: At what speed did the ball leave his foot?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]v=14.5(m/s)[/tex].

Explanation:

This is a projectile motion problem, so for solving it, we will require some equations of uniform motion and free-fall.

First, we need to recognize the data that we have so we can start solving the problem.

For Free -Fall:

[tex]g= -9.8(m/s^{2})[/tex]

[tex]\Delta y=2.4(m)[/tex]

For uniform motion:

[tex]\Delta x=17(m)[/tex]

The time that takes to the ball to travel 17m horizontally and to hit the crossbar at 2.4m of height is the same, so time is a common variable for free-fall and uniform motion.

Using the equations:

[tex]\Delta y=v_{y0}t+0.5gt^{2}[/tex] and

[tex]\Delta x=v_{x}t[/tex]

and noticing that

[tex]v_{y0}=v*sin(38)[/tex] and

[tex]v_{x}=v*cos(38)[/tex],

we obtain

[tex]\Delta y=v*sin(38)t+0.5gt^{2}[/tex] and

[tex]\Delta x=v*cos(38)t[/tex]

wich is a system of two equations and to variables that can be easily solve.

Making

[tex]v=\frac{\Delta x}{t*cos(38)}[/tex]

we get

[tex]\Delta y=(\frac{\Delta x}{t*cos(38)})sin(38)t+0.5gt^{2}[/tex],

[tex]\Delta y=\Delta x*tan(38)+0.5gt^{2}[/tex],

[tex]\Delta y-\Delta x*tan(38)=0.5gt^{2}[/tex],

[tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{\Delta y-\Delta x*tan(38)}{0.5g}}[/tex],

[tex][tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{2.4-17*tan(38)}{0.5*(-9.8)}}[/tex]

so

[tex]t=1.50s[/tex],

now the speed can be easily compute from one of our equations. Using

[tex]v=\frac{\Delta x}{t*cos(38)}[/tex],

[tex]v=\frac{17}{1.5*cos(38)}[/tex],

[tex]v=14.5(m/s)[/tex].

The speed of the ball when it left his foot is 11.13 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • distance of the goal, d = 17 m
  • angle of projection of the ball, = 38°
  • height of the cross bar, H = 2.4 m

The speed of the projectile will be calculated by applying the formula for maximum height reached by a projectile;

[tex]H = \frac{u^2 sin^2(\theta)}{2g} \\\\u^2 = \frac{2gH}{sin^2(\theta)} \\\\u^2 = \frac{2\times 9.8 \times 2.4}{sin^2 (38)} \\\\u^2 = 123.97 \\\\u = \sqrt{123.97} \\\\u = 11.13 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the speed of the ball when it left his foot is 11.13 m/s.
