PHLOS Projectile Motion Exercise
Consider a projectile that is fired over level ground starting at ground level with an inti
angle Op with respect to the ground and an initial speed vo.
1, Time of flight: Assume 0) = 30° and vp =20 m/s. calculate analytically using the
appropriate equations.
Maximum altitude: Again assume Gy =
30° and vo = 20 m/s. calculate analytically
using the appropriate equations.
Field goal: A kicker kicks a football with
an initial speed of 20 m/s at an angle of
45° toward a field goal 38 m away. The
horizontal bar of the goal post is 3.1 m
high. Will the ball clear the goal post?
Determine the answer analytically
