Instructions:

Hang time of a football can be computed based on an equation that utilizes the height of the ball at the time of the kick and the initial velocity of the kick. Using this interactive application, change the initial velocity several times. Then keep the velocity constant and change the height of the ball when kicked. Click on "run" as you make each change to see the effect of your changes.

Enjoy "kicking the football" and then remember to go to your textbook to do the original problem. It is problem number 11, located on page 476.
