In the football game between NM and JL. It's the end of the second half and the cougars are attempting a miraculous 50 yard field goal. The football is kicked at angle of 25 degree with the horizontal at a speed of 60mph. Find the initial velocity of the ball V in the feet/sec

88.02 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle with the horizontal, θ =25°

Initial velocity, v = 60 mph

1 mph = 1.467 ft/s

60 mph = 60 × 1.467 ft/s = 88.02 ft/s

Vertical component, v sin θ = 88.02 sin 25° = 37.2 ft/s

Horizontal component, v cos θ = 88.02 cos 25°= 79.8 ft/s

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.
