Question

1.Mrs Garcia, a physics enthusiast, goes to a water park in South Padre Island to test the concepts learned during class. She goes on a water slide that is 265 meters long and is built at an angle with the ground of θ = 30 degrees.

– What is her final velocity at the end of the slide?

2.

5. A goalkeeper kicks a soccer ball that is initially resting on the ground. She kicks the ball with an initial velocity of 8 m/s. The initial angle between the ground and the trajectory of the ball is θ=27 degrees.

   – How long is the ball in the air? – How far does the ball travel?
   – How high does the ball go?

   Hint: Use equations of motion and the definition of range and maximum height for projectile motion.
