How do you calculate the initial speed given time and displacement?
the question is: the longest kick in cfl history was 83.2m. if the ball remained in the air for 4.12s, determine its initial speed.
i calculated it several times and got the same answer, 40.38m/s, but the textbook says it's 28.6m/s.

Physics 1.) when an object is dropped from the top of a tall cliff, your teacher tells you to use -10 m/s2 for the approximate acceleration due to gravity. what sign should the displacement of the object have and why? a) the displacement should be positive, because it only moves in one direction. b) the displacement should be positive, because this choice would make calculations easier c) the displacement should be negative, because the negative represent a downward direction. d) the displacement should be positive, because you can never have less than zero displacement. 2) a cannonball is fired horizontally with an initial velocity of 20 m/s off a cliff that is 10 m from the ground. if the initial velocity is doubled what will be the affect on the time and horizontal distance? a) both the time and horizontal distance will double. b) neither the time or horizontal distance will change. c) the time won't change, but horizontal distance will double. d) the time will double, but the horizontal distance won't change. 3) ben and jerry took a four day mountain hike during summer vacation. the distance traveled each day is seen in the illustration. they traveled to point a on day one; point b on day two. they turned around and went back home on day three because jerry forgot his allergy medicine. their hike ended at point d. how does ben and jerry's total displacement compare to their distance traveled? a) displacement is 0 km and distance travled is 30 km. b) dispalcement is 30 km and distance traveled is 30 km. c) displacement is 30 km but distance traveled is 110 km. d) displacement is 110 km and distance traveled is 110 km. 4) a stone is launched from the ground, at a 70° angle, with an initial velocity of 120 m/s. once you determine when the stone hits the ground, which equation would you use to find its final horizontal distance? a) x = 41t b) x = 60t c) x = 84.7t d) x = 120t 5) sally walks 10 meters forward and then 5 meters backwards. which statement most accurate describes the magnitude of her displacement and distance travelled? a) sally's displacement is 5m less than her distance travelled. b) sally's displacement is 10m less than her distance travelled. c) sally's displacement is 5m greater than her distance travelled. d) sally's displacement is 10m greater than her distance travelled. 6) eric decided to go for a walk from his home. he headed 6 meters east and x meters north. the angle formed by the displacement vector and the horizontal vector is 37°. what is the length of the displacement vector? a) 7.5 m b) 9 m c) 10 m d) 12 m 7) if a soccer player is preparing to kick the ball downfield, elaborate on what will result in the maximum distance? a) the player should kick the ball as hard as possible, the angle doesn't matter. b) the player should increase the ball's initial velocity and kick at a 20° angle. c) the player should increase the ball's initial velocity and kick it at a 30° angle. d) the player should increase the ball's initial velocity and kick it at a 45° angle. 8) a hiker moves 3 meters east, which is vector a. then the hiker moves four meters north, which is vector b. the displacement vector is vector c. what angle is created between vectors c and a? a) 37.2° b) 53.1° c) 90.5° d) 100.8° 9) what two factors affect projectile motion? a) distance and angle b) distance and amplitude c) initial velocity and angle d) initial velocity and amplitude 10) what is the initial upward velocity of a projectile fired at an angle of 40 m/s at an angle of 20o? a) 2 m/s b) 13.68 m/s c) 14.55 m/s d) 38 m/s 11) at what angle with the ground should a projectile be thrown to reach the maximum distance? a) 0° with the ground b) 45° with the ground c) 62° with the ground d) 82° with the ground 12) a baseball is hit at an initial speed of 40 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. find the ball’s maximum height in meters. use g = 9.81 m/s2. a) 10.2 b) 20.4 c) 22.4 d) 61.2 13) which is an example of two-dimensional motion? a) a bird flying in the air b) a leaf falling from a tree c) a train traveling along a track d) a lady bug crawling on a soccer ball
