Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the equations of motion.

First, we need to find the initial velocity components. The initial velocity in the x-direction (Vx) and y-direction (Vy) can be found using the initial speed and the angle:

Vx = 18.7 m/s * cos(38.5) = 14.6 m/s Vy = 18.7 m/s * sin(38.5) = 11.5 m/s

Next, we need to find the time the football is in the air. We can use the equation of motion in the y-direction:

Vyt - 0.5g*t^2 = 0

Solving for t gives us two times, at the start when the ball is kicked and at the end when the ball lands. We are interested in the latter:

t = 2Vy / g = 211.5 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 2.35 s

Finally, we can find the horizontal distance the football travels using the equation of motion in the x-direction:

d = Vx*t = 14.6 m/s * 2.35 s = 34.3 m

So, the football lands approximately 34.3 m from the original kick. The closest answer is 34.8 m.
