Aplayer kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. when the soccer ball reaches its maximum height, how does its speed at this point compare to its initial speed? assume air resistance is negligible.

When the player kicks the ball, he certainly must have done so at an angle to the horizontal and that is why the motion of the ball describes an arc or a parabolic path. The consequence of this is that the speed with which the ball was kicked will have two components namely; the vertical component and the horizontal component.

In absence of air resistance, the horizontal component of the speed remains constant throughout the motion of the ball, but the vertical component reduces as the ball rises higher because of the effect of acceleration due to gravity.

At the maximum height, the vertical component of the speed is zero, only the horizontal component remains.

explanation:

areas w steep slopes, west coast, rocky mountains, and appalachian mountains

i sometimes feel that way too. i feel that i should hurt someone because they hurt me, but i wouldnt do it. that would make things so much worse i have so much experience with this stuff
