Projectile Motion Worksheet

The document provides 7 problems involving projectile motion with given initial velocities and launch angles. It asks the reader to calculate values like maximum height, range, time, and impact point using the equation for projectile motion with gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2. Sample answers are provided for the first 3 problems involving thrown objects like footballs, rocks, and a ball launched from a roof.

Projectile Motion

Use g = 9.81 m s–2

1. A quarterback throws a football at 15 ms-1 at 40o to the horizontal.


a) What is the maximum height of the ball?
b) What is the range?

2. A rock is thrown horizontally at 10.0 ms-1 off of a 150 m sheer cliff.


What is the range?

3. A girl standing on the top of a roof throws a rock at 30 m/s at an angle of 30 o


below the horizontal. If the roof is 50 m high, how far from the base of the
building will the rock land?

4. A man 50.0 m away from a burning building directs s a stream of water from a
