A football player kicks a ball at a 30o angle from the ground with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. What is the final velocity of the ball when it hits the ground?

Given that,

Angle = 30°

Initial velocity = 15 m/s

We need to calculate the time of flight

Using formula of time of flight

Where, u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

We need to calculate the final velocity of the ball

Using equation of motion

Hence, The final velocity of the ball is 29.7 m/s.

truck y has a greater velocity than truck x.
