Question

A soccer ball is kicked with a velocity of 8 m/s at an angle of 23°. what is the ball's acceleration in the vertical direction of the flies through the air?

Answer 1

Regardless of the speed of the ball or its angle, once it has left the kickers foot it's acceleration is always g downward. -9.81m/s^2

Answer 2

9.81 m/s^2 vertically downwards

Step-by-step explanation:

When a body is falling freely or throwing vertically upwards, the acceleration acting on the body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity. It always acts in vertically downwards direction and it's value is 9.81 m/s^2.
