What factors affect the trajectory of a soccer ball in projectile motion?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the factors affecting the trajectory of a soccer ball in projectile motion, specifically regarding a problem where a ball is kicked 27.43 meters towards a goal with an initial velocity of 36 m/s, reaching a height of 1.92 meters. Participants encourage the poster to attempt a solution before seeking further assistance, suggesting a breakdown of the problem into two phases: the ascent to maximum height and the descent to the goal. The importance of understanding the physics behind projectile motion, including initial velocity and height, is emphasized. The poster is also reminded to clarify their question for better guidance. Overall, the discussion highlights the need for a structured approach to solving projectile motion problems in soccer.

Homework Statement


A soccer ball is kicked 27.43m away from the goal and 9.15m away from the defensive line with a initial velocity of 36 m/s, when the ball reaches the goal is 1.92m from the floor [/B]
I'll leave a little diagram of the problem, thanks for your time.
P.D: I apologize for my poor English, I hope you understood what I was trying to say

Welcome to the PF.

It's good you posted some of your work. Could your please type in your Attempt at the Solution? Thanks.
 
I don't want to offer too much help until you have attampted a solution.

To get you going though, try dividing this problem into 2 parts (when the ball is kicked and when it reaches maximum height, and then from maximum height to the goal).

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

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...
