Problem 05.

A stone was dropped from a balloon which is ascending at a rate of 6m/s when
the stone was 70m above the ground
a. What is the velocity of the stone after 3 seconds?
b. What is the time required for the stone to attain a downward velocity of
15m/s?
c. How long did it take the stone to hit the ground
Answer: V = -23.43m/s, t = 2.14 sec, tg = 4.44 sec
Required:

Solution:
Projectile Motion – motion along a curved path

Problem 14a.
A ball is kicked at a ground level at an angle 600 with the horizontal with an
initial velocity of 100m/s. Determine the following
a. The height of the ball after 2 seconds
b. The horizontal location of the
ball after 2 seconds
c. The velocity of the ball after 2
seconds
d. The time the ball hit the ground
Ans. 153.59m, 100m, 83.58m/s,
17.66sec.
Solution:
Problem 11b.
A projectile is fired from the edge of a 150m cliff with an initial velocity of
180m/sec at an angle 300 with the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance,
a. The horizontal distance from the gun to the point where it strikes the ground
b. The time the projectile strikes the ground after it is fired
c. The greatest elevation above the ground reached by the projectile
Answer: H = 3100m; t = 19.89seconds; Y = 563m
Problem 14.
