QUESTION:

The hang time of a punt is measured to be 4.50 s. If the ball was kicked at an angle of 63.0 above the horizontal and was caught at the same level from which it was kicked, what was its initial speed?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

At maximum height, the final vertical velocity of the punt will be zero due to gravitational force of attraction.

                                                               

Similarly the taken by the punt to reach the maximum height will be half of the hang time  of the punt.

Then, the time taken by the punt to reach maximum height will be,

                                                             

For  in equation (2),
