Motion in 2D and 3D
A batter kicks a football so that it leaves the bat at speed vo = 30 m/s at an angle = 53°. (a) Find the position of the ball and its velocity (magnitude and direction)
at t = 1.00 s (b) Find the time when the ball reaches the highest point of its flight, and
its height h at this time. (c) Find the horizontal range R-that is, the horizontal distance from the starting point to where the ball hits the ground.
