Problem 01
A projectile is fired up the inclined plane at an initial velocity of 18 m/s. The plane is making an angle of
30° from the horizontal. If the projectile was fired at 30° from the incline, compute the maximum height
z measured perpendicular to the incline that is reached by the projectile. Neglect air resistance.
Problem 02
A bullet is fired at an initial velocity of 155 m/s and an angle of 56° at the top of a 120 m tall building.
Neglecting air resistance, determine the following:

1. The maximum height above the level ground that can be reached by the bullet.

2. The time for the bullet to hit the ground.

3.

4. The velocity with which the bullet will hit the ground.
Problem 03.

A soccer ball is projected at an angle of 60° from the ground.It attains its maximum height in 10s.
Considering acceleration due to gravity as g = 10 m/s2. What is the velocity with which it was
projected?
Problem 04.

A big stone of mass 1000 g, projected at an angle of 30° from the ground it covers a maximum vertical
