A ball of mass 0.6 kg, initially at rest, is kicked directly toward a fence from a point 20 m away, as shown below. The velocity of the ball as it leaves the kicker's foot is 17 m/s at angle of 58 degrees above the horizontal. The top of the fence is 7 m high. The ball hits nothing while in flight and air resistance is negligible. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
Determine the time it takes for the ball to reach the plane of the fence. Answer in units of s.
How far above the top of fence will the ball pass? Consider the diameter of the ball to be negligible. Answer in units of m.
What is the vertical component of the velocity when the ball reaches the plane of the fence? Answer in units of m/s.
