A soccer ball is kicked from the top of one building with a height of H1 = 30.2 m to another building with a height of H2 = 12.0 m. (It is not a very smart idea to play soccer on the roof of tall buildings.)
The ball is kicked with a speed of v0 = 15.10 m/s at an angle of θ = 74.1° with respect to the horizontal. The mass of a size 5 soccer ball is m = 450 g. When the ball lands on the other building, its speed is 19.89 m/s.
How much energy was lost to air friction? The ball is kicked without a spin.
