A soccer ball, at rest on the ground, is kicked with an initial velocity of 10 m//s at a launch angle of 30^(@). Calculate its total flight time, assuming that air resistance is negligible.

Answer»

0.5 s
1s
1.7 s
2 s

Solution :First, we determine the time required for the ball to reach the TOP of its parabolic trajectory (which is the time required for the vertical velocity to drop to zero).
`v_(y) overset("set")=0 implies v_(0_(y))=GT = 0 implies t=(v_(0_(y)))/(g)`
The total flight time is EQUAL to twice the following value :
`T= 2t= 2(v_(0_(y)))/(g)=2(v_(0)sin theta_(0))/(g)=(2(10 m//s)sin 30^(@))/(10 m//s^(2))=1 s`
