Calculate speed and height in given time for motion

Click For Summary
To determine the speed and height of a kicked soccer ball, one can use projectile motion equations that incorporate the angle of the kick and initial velocity. The key formulas involve calculating the vertical and horizontal components of the motion. Regarding the force of the kick, it is not possible to calculate the exact force without knowing the time interval of the kick; however, impulse can be calculated as the product of average force and time. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving the problems related to projectile motion. Accurate calculations require specific values for initial speed and angle.

Hello All,

Unfortunately I'm pretty bad in physics, so I would like to ask from you.

I have two problems:

1.

I have a ball. The soccer kick the ball in a given angle, and I would like to find out what is the speed and height of the ball. Is there any equation or function what can I use for it?

2.

How can I calculate the force of the kick if I know how far the ball should be kicked?


Thank you

2. You can't calculate the force. But you can calculate the impulse which is the average force times the time interval during which the force was acting. You don't know what that time interval is so it is not possible to calculate the force.
 

Thread 'Mousetrap Car Energy efficiency'

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
