8. Rams quarterback, Jared Goff, went to the Superbowl. He decides since he throws so many passes during a football game, he goes over his projectile problems before the big game.

a) He throws the football at 15m/s at an angle of 40 degrees and he throws it 1m above the ground. He needs to avoid a tackle, so he runs at a constant speed forward at 2m/s when he lets go of the ball.

What is the maximum distance will the ball go in the horizontal direction when he releases the ball to a receiver that will catch the ball at 1m above the ground to a receiver that will catch the ball at 1m above the ground?

b) A wide receiver will start 9m ahead of Jeff Goff in the horizontal direction when Goff releases the ball. He can accelerate at 8m/s2and will start from rest until he reaches 10m/s and will run at a constant velocity in order to catch the ball. Will he be able to catch the ball before it drops to the ground?

c) Draw the position verse time graph, velocity verse time graph, and the acceleration verse time graph of the wide receiver.

According to the answer key the answers should be 26.4 for a and 13.45 for B. Also please do C and draw the graphs. Thank you.
