Vertical velocity of a soccer ball

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The problem involves determining the vertical velocity of a soccer ball after a force is applied for a short time interval. The context is within the subject area of dynamics and kinematics, specifically focusing on impulse and momentum.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to understand the relationship between force, time, and resulting velocity, expressing uncertainty about how to proceed. Some participants suggest considering the change in momentum due to the impulse applied to the ball, while others question the original poster's approach and suggest revisiting the concept of impulse.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring different interpretations of the problem. Some guidance has been offered regarding the relevance of impulse and momentum, but there is no explicit consensus on the next steps to take.

Contextual Notes

The original poster appears to be grappling with the application of multiple physics concepts, including impulse and kinematics, and is seeking clarity on how these relate to the problem at hand.

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.


Homework Equations


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...
