PROJECTILE MOTION WORKSHEET
1. A ball is kicked horizontally at 8.0 m/s from a cliff 80m high. How far from the base of the cliff
will the stone strike the ground?
2. How long will it take a shell fired from a cliff at an initial velocity of 800 mis at an angle 30°
below the horizontal to reach the ground 150m below?
‘of 25 m/s. It takes 3.00s
vertical component of
3. Jason Kendall throws a baseball with a horizontal component of veloci
to come back to its original height. Calculate its horizontal range, its
velocity and its initial angle of projection.
4. An egg is thrown horizontally off the roof of SI, which is 60 meters high, with an ini
of 6.5 m/s, How long does it take to hit the ground? How far does it go in the x direct
velocity
n?
5. A diver jumps UP off pier at an angle of 25° with an initial velocity of 3.2 m/s. How far from
the pier will the diver hit the water (Assume the level of water is the same as the pier)
6. Wile E. Coyote is holding a*HEAVY DUTY ACME; ANVIL” on a cliff that is 40.0 meters
high. The Roadrunner (beep-beep), who is 1.0 meter tall is running on a road toward the cliff ata
constant velocity of 10.0 m/s. Wile E. Coyote wants to drop the anvil on the Roadrunner’s head.
How far away should the Roadrunner be when Wile E. drops the anvil?
7. A bullets fired at an angle of 60° 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?
8. A bullets fired at an angle of 45°. Neglecting air resistance, what isthe direction of acceleration
during the flight of the bullet?
a) upward «) dependent on thei
) downward d)at ads angle
velocity
9. A golfer drives her golf ball from the tee down the fairway in a high arcing shot. When the ball is
atthe highest point of its flight:
a. the velocity and acceleration are both zero
b. the x-velocity is zero and the y-veloci
the x-velocity is non-zero, but the y-vel
the velocity is non-zero, but the acceleration is zero
10. A bullet is fired horizontally from 2 gun. At the same time a similar bullet is dropped from the
same height. The fired bullet will:
a) hit the ground first «) hit at the same time as the dropped bullet
») hit the ground second 4) never it the groundAnswers
