# Projectiles Question. A level [closed]

During a football match, a player kicks a ball from rest towards a goal, which is 12 metres from the ball. The ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 17° above the horizontal.

Show that the time that it takes the ball to travel the horizontal distance of 12 metres is 0.502 seconds, correct to three significant figures.

You must have posted it in physics stack exchange. –  Mr.ØØ7 Mar 22 at 10:31
This seems like a typical pre-calculus word problem. There is no physics in it other than $d=vt$. I don't see a reason for migration to physics. –  robjohn Mar 22 at 17:02

The time reqiured to travel horizontal distance $d$ is equal to $$T=\frac{d}{ucos\theta}$$; We don't need to add acceleration due to gravity because that just effects the vertical motion but the horizontal motion is just with a constant velocity.
