Homework Statement



Find the initial velocity for the above soccer kick. Note that ball must cross the 2 points in the diagram within the two walls.

Linked below is the diagram

Homework Equations


dx = v1(cos theta) * t
dy = v1(sin theta) * t - 0.5at^2

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried using the displacements in the x and y and making a system of equations out of them. But after a while, I just got stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can you show what you did so far using the x and y displacements? Just saying "I tried but I got stuck" really doesn't give us anything to go on to help you out.

Nevermind, I ended up finding my mistake, and solving the system.
