A place-kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball
leaves the ground with a speed of 23.7 m/s at an angle of 53.5° to the horizontal.
(a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short of clearing the crossbar? (Enter a
negative answer if it falls short.)
(b) Does the ball approach the crossbar while still rising or while falling?
