Question

Ariana kicks a soccer ball off the ground and into the air with an initial velocity of 42feet per second. Assume the starting height of the ball is 0 feet. Approximately whats the maximum height the ball reaches

Answer 1

Answer:

27.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

assume acceleration due to gravity is 32.2 ft/s² acting downwards,

hence acceleration acting on the ball is a = -32.2ft/s²

using the acceleration velocity equation

v1² = v0² + 2as

where .

v0 = inital velocity = given as 42 ft/s

v1 = final velocity = 0 (velocity is zero at maximum height)

s = height

0² = 42² + 2(-32.2) s  (solve for s)

s = 27.4 ft
