QUIZ NO. 3
Phys 211 – Physics for Engineers (Calculus Based)

INSTRUCTION. Solve the following problems correctly and systematically. Use three (3) decimal
places. SUBMIT YOUR SOLUTIONS. NO SOLUTION, NO POINT. Box your final answer with red
ballpen and write your final answer on the ANSWER SHEET BOX.

Situation 1: Paul throws a stone from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 20 m/s
straight upward, at an initial height of 50 m above the ground.
(a) Determine the time needed for the ball to reach its maximum height.
(b) What is the maximum height above the ground that it reaches?
Situation 2: A long jumper takes off from the ground at 11 m/s and a 20° angle with the
horizontal.
(a) What is the maximum range of the projectile?
(b) Determine the maximum height it reaches.
Situation 3: A projectile is fired at an angle of 30° with the horizontal at the top of a 30-m high
building. The muzzle velocity is 300 m/s. What is the total time of flight?
Situation 4: A ball is dropped from a 9 meters above the ground. If it begins at a rest,
(a) How long does it take to hit the ground?
(b) What is its final velocity?
Situation 5: A cliff diver from the top of a 2x2 meters cliff begins his dive by jumping up with a
velocity of 6x m/s.
(a) What is his velocity right before he hits the water?
(b) How long does it take for him to hit the water below?
Situation 6: A projectile is fixed at a certain angle 40° with the horizontal from the ground to
reach a maximum range with velocity of 15 m/s.
(a) Determine the time to reach the ground surface.
(b) Find the horizontal position of the object at 1.5 seconds.
(c) Find the vertical position of the object at 1.5 seconds.
(d) What is the resultant velocity of the object after 0.8 seconds?
(e) Determine the maximum range of the projectile.
Situation 7: A ball is thrown in Mars vertically upward with an initial velocity of 25ab m/s with a
gravitational acceleration of 3.721ab2c m/s2.
(a) Find the maximum height it reached.
(b) Find the total time in air.
(c) What is its final velocity when it reached the point where it was thrown?
