Projectile Motion (Practice Problems)

This document contains 7 practice problems about projectile motion. Each problem provides the initial velocity and launch angle of an object and asks for calculated values like time in the air, maximum height, or horizontal distance. The answers are also provided. Examples include calculating that a long jumper will travel 3.18 meters horizontally when jumping at 6 m/s and 300, and that a bullet launched at 200 m/s and 600 will be in the air for 1.531 seconds and reach a maximum height of 1531 meters.

300 to the horizontal and a speed of 6m/s. How
far does he jump?

Ans: a) 3.18m
Problem Solving 2
2:An football is punted with an initial velocity of
12 m/s at an angle of 65° find :
a. Time the ball was in the air,

b. Horizontal distance the ball travelled

c. Maximum height the ball reached.

Ans: a) 2.2 s b) 11.16 m c) 6 m


Problem Solving 3
3:A diver jumps UP off a pier at an angle of 25o
with an initial velocity of 3.2 m/s. How far from
the pier will the diver hit the water

Ans: 0.8 m
Problem Solving 4
4: A bullet is fired at an angle of 60o with an
initial velocity of 200.0 m/s. How long is the
bullet in the air? What is the maximum height
reached by the bullet?

Ans: 1531 m
Problem Solving 5
5:A projectile is launched at 32.1 m/s and 52.6°
above the horizontal. Determine the time in the
air, the horizontal displacement, and the peak
height.

Ans: 5.204 s – 101 m – 33.2 m


Problem Solving 6
6: A golf ball was hit into the air with an initial velocity
of 4.47 m/s at an angle of 66° above the horizontal.

horizontally?

Ans: 0.85 m – 1.51 m


Problem Solving 7
7: A basketball player is trying to make a half-court jump shot and
releases the ball at the height of the basket. Assume that the ball is
launched at an angle of 51.0° above the horizontal and a horizontal
distance of 14.0 m from the basket. What speed must the player
give the ball in order to make the shot?

Ans: 11.8 m/s
