Van Hau's shot was included in the semester exam
The first semester Physics test for grade 10 at An Duong High School (An Duong district, Hai Phong) requires testing knowledge through a hypothetical situation about a shot by player Doan Van Hau.
Recently, 10th grade students of An Duong High School (Hai Phong City) took a Physics semester test with a special question when given a situation related to player Doan Van Hau's shot during a practice session to prepare for the men's football final at SEA Games 30.
Specifically, the question is given in a training session preparing for the final match of SEA Games 30, player Van Hau kicks a ball weighing m=220g that is standing still on a flat horizontal field, the contact time between the foot and the ball is 0.2 seconds, the ball moves on the field at a speed of 10m/s.
The test requires students to:
a. Calculate the acceleration of the ball and the force Van Hau exerted on the ball.
b. After Van Hau kicked the ball, it rolled 10 meters and then stopped. Calculate the frictional force of the field acting on the ball. Ignore air resistance.
c. Suppose when the ball is moving on the field with a speed of 10m/s, it collides with another ball with a mass m2=100g, after the collision it bounces back in the same direction with a speed of 4m/s. Find the speed of the ball with a mass m2=100g immediately after the collision.

Teacher Huy said that realizing the students' interest in the men's football final match of the 30th SEA Games, he included a football-related situation that also tested knowledge in the exam.
According to Mr. Huy, it is just a hypothetical situation, instead of putting object A and object B in motion, he replaced it with Doan Van Hau's kick. When teaching and testing, he also often brings in real-life situations for students to associate and apply within the framework of the allowed knowledge content.
