A football place kicker is about to attempt a field goal from
the 30-yard line. He is lined up directly in front of the left
goal post; but since there is a wind coming from the right side
of the field, the kicker aims for the right goal post. This
means that, from above, the ball will be kicked at a 79º angle
to the 30-yard line. A.) The player kicks the ball at this angle
with enough force to make the ball go 47 miles per hour, and the
wind is blowing at 10 miles per hour. Use a vector sum of these
two forces to show that, under these circumstances, the kicker
will miss the field goal. B.) To make the field goal, the
resultant force of the kick and the wind actually should have a
magnitude of 50 miles per hour and a direction of 85º. To
counteract the 10-mph wind, with what speed--and at what
direction--should the football player kick the ball? I am
needing help figuring out the answers to this question. I would
appreciate if someone could give great detail in explaining how
to do this step by step to findi
