Vertical velocity of a soccer ball

AI Thread Summary
To determine the vertical velocity of a soccer ball after a force of 17.0 N is applied for 0.090 seconds, the acceleration must first be calculated using the force and mass of the ball. The impulse-momentum theorem can be applied to find the change in momentum, which is crucial for calculating the final velocity. The discussion emphasizes the need to understand the relationship between force, time, and velocity changes. It suggests revisiting resources on impulse to clarify these concepts. Ultimately, the focus is on applying physics equations correctly to solve for the vertical velocity.

Homework Statement


A force of 17.0 N is applied to a 0.34 kg soccer ball for 0.090s, causing it to move off at 28 degrees above the horizontal. Determine the vertical velocity of the soccer ball at the end of the 0.090 second time interval.

y= vyt + 1/2gt2
vyf= vy + gt
vf= vi + at

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't really understand how to do this. How should I go about doing this? I'm thinking that maybe I have to find the acceleration of the ball, then find the velocity, but I'm not really sure how I should go about doing that.

You're missing change in momentum that comes from the impulse of the kick delivered.
 
So what do you suggest I do?
 
That doesn't help me much...
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
