Thank you so much! I have no idea how I didn't catch that, but I guess that's why having a fresh pair of eyes always helps! I plugged in the correct value for Ft and got 736.9, which was correct.
Equations I used:
Fty = Ft(sinθ)
Ftx = Ft(cosθ)
My attempt:
I drew a free body diagram that looked like this (the red are just components of the tension, I know they wouldn't usually be included on a free body).
Finding Magnitude of Tension:
Fg = 516 (I gathered from the problem)
Fg = Fty...
I did go back and set Vy = 0 m/s instead of -16.68 m/s in the second equation, and doing that, I got y to eventually equal 14. I entered the answer into Lon Capa and got it right!
There is another part to the question, if you wouldn't mind helping with it.
If the hang time of the ball (total...
I used the Voy that I got from the first equation, and then set Vy = -(Voy). But maybe that was wrong because I'm not looking for the final velocity of the motion, I'm looking for the velocity of the football at the max point? (is that what you were trying to say?) And the velocity at the max...
A football is kicked from a tee to start the football game. If the ball is kicked at a 38 degree angle with an initial velocity of 27.1 m/s, Find the maximum height of the football as it flies through the air.
I was using these equations:
Voy = Vo(sine of theta)
Vy = Voy + at
y = 1/2(a)(t^2)...
