Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the factors affecting the trajectory of a soccer ball in projectile motion, specifically focusing on a scenario where a soccer ball is kicked towards a goal with given distances and initial velocity.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the initial conditions of the problem, including distances and initial velocity. There are suggestions to break the problem into parts, such as analyzing the motion from the kick to maximum height and then from maximum height to the goal. Some participants inquire about the original poster's attempts at a solution.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants encouraging the original poster to provide their attempts at a solution. There is a focus on understanding the problem setup and exploring different aspects of projectile motion without reaching a consensus or resolution.

Contextual Notes

There is a note of potential language barriers affecting communication, as the original poster expresses concern about their English proficiency. The problem lacks explicit questions or a clear goal, prompting participants to seek clarification.

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).
