An athlete kicks a soccer ball that starts at rest so that it leaves their foot with a speed of 10m/s from the top o f a rectangular shaped canyon. If the athlete's foot is in contact with the ball for only 0.02 seconds, determine the accceleration of the ball during the kick.

Answer:

[tex]a=500m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

We need only to apply the definition of acceleration, which is:

[tex]a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}[/tex]

In our case the final velocity is [tex]v_f=10m/s[/tex], the initial velocity is [tex]v_i=0m/s[/tex] since it departs from rest, the final time is [tex]t_f=0.02s[/tex] and the initial time we are considering is [tex]t_i=0s[/tex]

So for our values we have:

[tex]a=\frac{10m/s-0m/s}{0.02s-0s}=500m/s^2[/tex]
