Problem 2. The application of physics is everywhere. In school, physics applications
can be seen in other learning areas like physical education (P.E). When
you are watching a soccer play-off when the soccer player kicked the ball
from ground level. You are given a chance to kick a soccer ball at an initial
velocity of 80 m/s to reach the goal with a distance of 300 m. At what angle
do you intend to kick the ball?

A golfer is teeing off on a 170.0m long par 3 hole. The ball leaves with a velocity of 40.0 m/s at 50.0 degrees above the horizon. Assuming that she hits the ball on a direct path to the hole, how far from the hole will the ball land (no bounces or rolls)? Include a drawing and all steps. Use the projectile motion equations.

- physicsarrow_forwardJill sets out from her home to deliver flyers for her yard sale, traveling due east (+x) along her street lined with houses. After going 500 m she runs out of flyers and has to retrace her steps back to her house to get more. After picking up more flyers, she sets out again on the same path, continuing where she left off, and ends up 1000 m from her house. At this point she turns back toward her house, heading west (-x).
