Practice Questions

Question 1

A projectile is launched from the ground with an initial speed of $50\,\text{m/s}$ at an angle of $37^\circ$ above the horizontal. What is the total time of flight of the projectile? (Assume $g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2$)

Question 2

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a $45\,\text{m}$ high cliff with an initial speed of $20\,\text{m/s}$. How far from the base of the cliff does the ball land? (Assume $g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2$)

Question 3

A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of $45^\circ$ with an initial speed of $30\,\text{m/s}$. What is the maximum height reached by the projectile? (Assume $g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2$)

Question 4

A projectile is launched at an angle of $60^\circ$ with an initial speed of $40\,\text{m/s}$. What is the horizontal range of the projectile? (Assume $g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2$)

Question 5

A football is kicked at an angle of $30^\circ$ to the horizontal with an initial speed of $25\,\text{m/s}$. What is the speed of the football at the highest point of its trajectory? (Assume no air resistance)
