A smiley face soccer ball is kicked at a 30 degree angle above the horizontal. It has an initial speed of 30 meters per second. A kick from the short upper tier causes the ball to land at a lower elevation as depicted. a) Choose an appropriate coordinate system to solve the problem and draw it on the graphic. b) Solve for the apex of the ball's travel above the lower elevation (highest point along path). c) How far does the ball travel in the horizontal direction before hitting the ground? d) What is the vertical speed of the ball just prior to ground impact?
