Problem Solving. Show your clear and pertinent solution in a separate sheet of bond paper.

1. A shot is fired with a velocity of 300 ft/s at an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal.
a. Find the maximum height of the projectile.
b. What is the range of the projectile?

2. A baseball is thrown from a horizontal plane following a parabolic path with an initial velocity of 100 m/s at
30-deg angle above the horizontal. How far from the throwing point will the ball attain its original level?

3. What is the range of a projectile if the initial velocity is 30 m/s at an angle of 30º with the horizontal?

4. A bullet is fired at an angle of 75º with the horizontal with an initial velocity of 420 m/s. how high can it
travel after 2 seconds?

5. A stone was thrown horizontally at a speed of 5 m/s from the top of a cliff 78.4 high.
a. How long did it take the stone to reach the bottom of the cliff?
b. How far from the base of the cliff did the stone strike the ground?
c. What were the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the stone just before it hit the
ground?

6. A monkey at the top of a 10-m high tee threw a coconut to his mate down below.
a. If the monkey threw the coconut horizontally at 12 m/s, at what distance from the foot of the tree
must his mate be in order to catch it?
b. If the mate who was 20m away horizontally from the exact spot where the coconut will fall
attempted to run at 14 m/s, will she be able to catch it? Explain.

7. A missile is released from a fighter plane traveling horizontally at an altitude of 10 000 ft. If the target was
hit at 2.09 miles at what speed, in mi/h, was the plane traveling.

8. A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 193.2 ft/s upward at an angle of 30º to the horizontal from
from a point 257.6 above level plain. What horizontal distance will it cover before it strikes the level plain?

9. A rocket was launched to hit the terrorist’ hideout at a velocity of 15 000 ft/s at a target 300 mi away.
a. At what angle must it be fired to hit the target?
b. How long after it is fired will the target be hit?
c. If the terrorist discovered the point to eliminate them 2 minutes after the rocket was launched, will
they escape alive? Explain.
10. …
a. In the absence of air drag, at what maximum range will the arrow of Jumong reach if it was
released at 70 ft/s? (note,: for Maximum R, Ɵ= 45˚)
b. If the same arrow reached 100 m away, at what initial velocity was it released.
