A football is kicked at an angle of 45° to the horizontal over a defense line up with a velocity of 15ms1. Calculate the magnitudeof horizontal velocity of the ball at its highest point  [Neglect friction, g = 10ms2].

A.

0.0ms1

B.

5.6ms1

C.

10.6ms1

D.

15.0ms1

Correct answer is C

The horizontal component of velocity, Vx, is unaffected by the acceleration of free fall and remains constant.

Vx=Ux=Ucosθ

= 15×cos45=15×0.7071
