Solution Summary

This answer shows how to find the range and maximum height of a foot ball. Step by step procedure with final answer.

Solution Preview

Take the origin at the point where the ball is kicked vertically upward as the Y axis and the horizontal in the plane of motion as the X axis. The initial velocity has the components,
U(x) = 20m/s Cos(45) = 10 x ...
