PROJECTILE MOTION
LAUNCHED AT AN ANGLE
 OBJECTIVE
Investigate the relationship between the angle release
and the height and range of a projectile.
Given: FORMULA AND SOLUTION

= 30m/s
= 25 0

g = 9.8
=?
Given:
= 30m/s
= 250
g = 9.8
=?
=?

or 70 meters
 FORMULA AND SOLUTION

Method 2: = (12.68 m/s) = 6.34 m/s

Given: =
= 30m/s
= 25 0

g = 9.8 1.29 s
=?
= ()
= ()= 8.2 m
Solve the forllowing problems.

1. A cannonball is fired with an initial velocity of 100 m/s at an angle

of 45 degrees above the horizontal. What maximum height will it reach
and how far will it fly horizontally?

2. A golf was hit into air with an initial velocity of 4.47 m/s at an angle
of 66 degrees above the horizontal. How high did the ball go and how
far did it fly horizontally?
Solve the forllowing problems.
3. Suppose a cannonball is fired downward from a 50 meter high cliff
at an angle of 45 degrees with an initial velocity of 80 m/s. How far
horizontally will it land from the base oif the cliff?

4. A soccer ball is kicked at 35 degrees above the horizontal , it lands

13.8 meters and reaches a maximum height of 2.42 meters.
(a). What is the initial vertical velocity?
(b). How long does it take to hit the ground?
(c). What is the initila horizontal velocity?
(d). With what velocity was the ball kicked?
Solve the forllowing problems.
4. A place kicker kicks a football with a velocity of 20.0 m/s and at an
angle of 53 degrees.
(a) How long is the ball in the air?
(b) How far away does it land?
(c) How high does it travel?
