Problem
A football is kicked from ground level with an initial speed of 20m s−1 and returns to the same level after travelling a horizontal distance of 30m. Take g=9.8m s−2.
(i) Calculate the possible angle(s) of projection.
(ii) For each angle obtained in (i), compute the corresponding maximum height reached by the football.
