Motion in 2D: Calculating Initial Velocity and Angle of a Kicked Football

Learn how to solve a complex two-dimensional motion problem involving a punted football through a detailed video walkthrough from the Physics in 24 Problems series. Calculate the initial velocity magnitude and angle needed for a football to achieve a 4.5-second hang time and travel 46 meters horizontally when kicked from a height of 150 centimeters. Master key physics concepts including projectile motion, kinematics equations, and vector components while following along with solutions from the Fundamentals of Physics textbook by Halliday, Resnick and Walker.
