Answer:
The speed of the soccer ball at height point is less than its initial speed
Explanation:
The initial velocity of the soccer can be written in vector form as
[tex]v_{i[/tex] = v cos θ î + v sin θ j
where [tex]v_{i[/tex] is initial velocity of the ball
v is the initial speed of the ball
Assume soccer ball is kicked at an angle θ with an horizontal and initial speed vm/s. Its horizontal component will be as,
[tex]v_{x}[/tex] = v cos θ
[tex]v_{y}[/tex] = v sin θ
At the maximum height, the vertical component becomes zero. therefore, the velocity of the soccer at the maximum point can be written as,
[tex]v_{m}[/tex] = v cos θ j
where, [tex]v_{m}[/tex] is velocity of the soccer ball at maximum height
