Test on Projectile motion 1 & 2, Vectors

1) Two balls are projected from the same point horizontally in the same direction with velocities 7m / s
and 4m / s respectively. They hit the ground 12 meters apart. Find the height of the point they were
thrown from. (Assume g  10m / s 2 )

2) A monkey jumps from the top of a palm tree to a coconut tree that is 10meters away. If the monkey
jumps with a horizontal velocity of 5m / s and reaches the coconut tree at a height of 8 meters from
the ground, then find the height of the palm tree. (Assume g  10m / s 2 )

3) You throw a stone from the ground with a velocity of (7𝑖̂ + 3𝑗̂)𝑚/𝑠. How far away does it strike the
ground again? (Assume g  10m / s 2 and 𝑗̂ is in the vertically upward direction)

4) A football is kicked from a rooftop with a horizontal speed of 7 m / s . It hits the ground 14meters
from the base of the building. Find the height of the building.

5) From a cliff, two stones are thrown simultaneously and in the same direction with horizontal
velocity 8 m / s and 12 m / s . They hit the ground at points A and B . The height of the cliff is
80meters . Find the distance AB ?

6) A stone is thrown from the roof of a 10meters tall building A with a velocity of  3iˆ  8 ˆj  m / s .
After 2seconds it strikes the roof of a second building B . Find the height of building B.
(Assume no air resistance and g  10 m / s 2 ).

7) A ball thrown from the ground with a speed  takes 1.6seconds to hit the ground again with a
range of 9.6meters . Find the velocity of projection ' ' ?

8) When a rock is thrown horizontally with a speed of 3 m / s from the 1st floor of a building, it takes
one second to hit the ground. When another rock is thrown horizontally with a speed of 2 m / s
from the 4th floor, find the distance from the base of the building where it strikes the
th st
ground. (Assume the 4 floor is twice as high as the 1 floor.)

9) A boy is going from his home to a stationary shop. He moves 100 m north then takes left
and moves 50 m in the west direction and reaches the shop. If he takes 5 minutes to reach
the shop, the velocity of the boy (in m/s) is

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
(A) 6 𝑖̂ + 3 𝑗̂ (B) 3 𝑖̂ + 6 𝑗̂ (C) 6 𝑖̂ − 3 𝑗̂ (D) − 6 𝑖̂ + 3 𝑗̂

10) Two equal forces are acting on a particle. The magnitude of the resultant force is 2 times
the magnitude of the either force. At what angle they are inclined to each other.
(A) 0o (B) 90𝑜 (C) 1800 (D) 450
