Problem

A football is kicked from level ground with an initial speed of 20 m s−120\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} at an angle of 30∘30^{\circ} to the horizontal. Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}. (a) Calculate the time taken by the ball to reach its highest point. (b) Determine the total time of flight. (c) How long after projection is the ball at a height of 5 m5\,\text{m} above the ground? (Give both possible answers.)
