In a football game a kicker attempts a field goal. The ball remains in contact with the kicker's foot for 0.0234 s, during which time it experiences an acceleration of 392 m/s2. The ball is launched at an angle of 54.2 degree above the ground. Determine the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the launch velocity.

Explanation / Answer

v = at = 392*0.0234 = 9.1728 m/s

a) 9.1728cos54.2 = 5.36m/s

b) 9.1728sin54.2 = 7.44m/s
