Question

A soccer ball is kicked from the top of a 5 ft. podium with an initial upward velocity of 32 ft/s. What is the maximum height that the soccer ball reached? (Give just a number for answer) *

Answer 1

t=v/g

=32/32.2

=.9937sec

h=Vo^2/64.4

=32^2/64.4+5

=1024/64.4+5

=21'.

ht=-16t^2+Vot+Ho

=-16*.9937^2+32+5

=52.8'
