Projectile Motion Worksheet

1) A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0 m/s across a level table that is 1.0 m
above the floor. Upon reaching the edge of the table, it follows a
parabolic path to the floor. How far along the floor is the landing
spot from the table? [0.90 m]

2) A rescue pilot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying at an


altitude of 2000.0 m with a forward velocity of 100.0 m/s. If air
friction is disregarded, how far in advance of the starving
explorer’s drop zone should she release the package? [2020 m]

3) A rifle is fired horizontally and travels 200.0 m [E]. The rifle


barrel is 1.90 m from the ground. What speed must the bullet
have been travelling at? Ignore friction. [321 m/s]

4) A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 25.0


m/s [E] and lands 70.0 m from the base of the ramp. How high is
the end of the ramp from the ground? [38.5 m]

5)

An astronaut stands on the edge of a lunar crater and throws a half-eaten Twinkie™ horizontally with a

th
that of the Earth). [55.3 m]

6) A baseball player leads off the game and hits a long home run.
The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 30.0o from the horizontal
with a velocity of 40.0 m/s. How far will it travel in the air? [141
m]

7) A golfer is teeing off on a 170.0 m long par 3 hole. The ball leaves
with a velocity of 40.0 m/s at 50.0o to the horizontal. Assuming
that she hits the ball on a direct path to the hole, how far from the
hole will the ball land (no bounces or rolls)? [9.38 m]

8) A punter in a football game kicks a ball from the goal line at 60.0o
from the horizontal at 25.0 m/s.
a) What is the hang time of the punt? [4.41 s]
b) How far down field does the ball land? [55.2 m]
9) A cannon fires a cannonball 500.0 m downrange when set at a
45.0o angle. At what velocity does the cannonball leave the
cannon? [70.0 m/s at 45.0o]

10)A lovesick lad wants to throw a bag of candy and love notes into
the open window of his girlfriend’s bedroom 10.0 m above.
Assuming it just reaches the window, he throws the love gifts at
60.0o to the ground:
a) At what velocity should she throw the bag? [16.2 m/s at 60.0o to
the ground]
b) How far from the house is he standing when he throws the bag?
[11.5 m]

11) You are piloting a helicopter which is rising vertically at a


uniform velocity of 14.70 m/s. When you reach 196.00 m, you
see Barney (Uh-oh). A large object is projected with a horizontal
velocity of 8.50 m/s from the rising helicopter.
a) When does the ball reach Barney’s head if he is standing in a
hole with his head at ground level? [7.99 s]
b) Where does Barney have to be horizontally relative to the
helicopter’s position? [68.0 m]
c) What is the vertical velocity when it hits the ground? [- 63.7 m/s]

12) An object is punted at 25.0 m/s [40.0o N of E] on G’s home


planet. What is the range of the object on level ground? (Use g =
18.0 m/s2) [34.2 m]

13) An elastic loaded balloon launcher fires balloons at an angle of


[38.0o N of E] from the surface of the ground. If the initial
velocity is 25.0 m/s, find how far away the balloons are from the
launcher when they hit the level ground again. [61.8 m]

14) A movie stunt driver on a motorcycle speeds horizontally off a


50.0 m high cliff. How fast (in km/h) must the motorcycle leave
the cliff-top if it’s to land on the level ground below at a distance
of 90.0 m from the base of the cliff? [101 km/h]

15) A football is kicked at 37.0o to the horizontal at 20.0 m/s from


the player’s hand at 1.00 m from the ground. How far did the
football travel before hitting the ground? [40.5 m]

16)The same football in #15 is kicked from the ground instead.


a) Find the maximum height. [7.38 m]
b) Find the time of travel. [2.45 s]
c) How far away does it hit the ground? [39.2 m]
d) Find the velocity vector at maximum height. [16.0 m/s which is
horizontal]
e) Find the acceleration vector at maximum height. [9.81 m/s2
down]

17) A rock is kicked off a cliff to the east at an angle of 45.0o above the
horizontal with a velocity of 22.5m/s. The cliff is 25.5m above the
ground
a. How long is the rocket in the air before it hits the ground
b. What is the rock’s range?
c. What is the rock’s final velocity just before it hits the ground?
