Ok I have a question....

At night I kick at a indoor soccer facility and the field is about 30 yards and there is a net that catches my kicks. Well that net is about 30 feet high and the cieling is about 34 feet high.

The quesiton is this....whats my trojectory if Iam hitting the cieling from 15 yards out? Now dont forget....30 feet high is how high the uprights are in college...from the ground to the top of the uprights.

Wow that I think about it....when I was kicking it and it was hitting the cieling that ball kept on turning over and it would of went even farther. Hmmm.....I wonder what my maximum height would be. My goal is to do what Todd France did this year. Against Western Michigan he kicked a 42 yard field goal that was evenly high with the upright as it passed the upright. So at 42 yards.....that ball was 30 feet high as it passed the upright. My 42 yard field goals probably get around 22 feet high as the ball passes the upright.

This is for people who knows physics actually. Ive been trying to solve this for the last 2 hours and I cant find a legit formula for it. So any help would be appreciated. THANKS :)

On the course!
I think you need to have speed of the ball factored in, also.

Here is another math problem for some of you guys:

A group of blondes in a class at the University of Illinois are given the assignment of measuring the height of a flagpole. So they go out to the flagpole with ladders and tape measures, and they're falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures - the whole thing was just a mess.

An engineering student comes along, sees what they're trying to do, walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, gives the measurement to one of the blondes and walks away.

After the engineer had gone, one blonde turns to another and laughs.

"Isn't that just like a dumb engineer? We're looking for the height and he gives us the length!"

another little blonde joke!

another little blonde joke!

Two Blondes waiting at the Pearly Gates strike up a conversation.

"How'd you die? The first blonde asked the second.
"I froze to death," says the second.
"That's awful" says the first blonde. "How does it feel to freeze
to death?"
"It's very uncomfortable at first," says the second blonde. "You
get the shakes, and you get pains in all your fingers and toes.
But eventually, it's a very calm way to go. You get numb and you
kind of drift off, as if you're sleeping". How about you, how did
you die?" asked the second blonde.
"I had a heart attack," says the first blonde. "You see I knew my
husband was cheating on me, so one day I showed up at home
unexpectedly.
I ran up to the bedroom, and found him alone watching TV. I ran to
the basement, but no one was hiding there either. I ran to the second
floor, but no one was hiding there either. I ran as fast as I could
to the attic, and just as I got there, I had a massive heart attack
and died.
The second blonde shakes her head. "What a pity - if you had only
looked in the freezer, we'd both still be alive.
