Tow BERTALAN PHLOS Projectile Motion Exercise Consider a projectile that is fired over level ground starting at ground level with an inti angle Op with respect to the ground and an initial speed vo. 1, Time of flight: Assume 0) = 30° and vp =20 m/s. calculate analytically using the appropriate equations. Maximum altitude: Again assume Gy = 30° and vo = 20 m/s. calculate analytically using the appropriate equations. Field goal: A kicker kicks a football with an initial speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 45° toward a field goal 38 m away. The horizontal bar of the goal post is 3.1 m high. Will the ball clear the goal post?
