Question 290604: China and the United States are playing each other in the championship match of the 1999 Women's world Cup soccer tournament. Brandi Chastain of the U.S. team is about to take a penalty kick against the Chinese team's goalkeeper, Gao Hong, Chastain will kick the ball from 18 yards away from the goal at 120 miles per hour. How many seconds does the goalkeeper have to react, dive, and reach the ball before it crosses the goal line? Thank you so much for any help! Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 mile =1760 yards
360 seconds in an hour
r*t=d
120*x*1760*360=18
x = 1/4224000
x~~2.36742x10^-7
