    Practice Problems 2: Projectile Motion

    Physics NYA - Chris Tromp

    1. A ball is thrown from a height of 2.8 m with a velocity of 7.8 m/s at an angle of elevation of 32°.
    a) How far will it land from the feet of the person who threw it? [8.5 m]
    b) With what velocity (magnitude and direction) will it land? [10.8 m/s, -52°]

    2. A baseball is hit from a height of 1.2 m so that it has a velocity of 37.3 m/s at an angle of 17° above
    the horizontal. 76 m from the batter is a fence 2.4 m tall. Will the ball make it over the fence?
    [not quite: it will be only 2.2 m high when it reaches the fence or
    it will have only gone 75.2 m when it is at a height of 2.4 m]

    3. A ball is thrown from the edge of the roof of a building with a 14°
    velocity of 22 m/s at an angle of 14° below the horizontal. It lands
    17.8 m from the base of the building. How high is the edge of the roof
    where it was thrown from?
    [7.84 m]

    4. A ball is thrown upwards from a height of 13 m with a velocity of 16 m/s at an angle of 67° from the
    horizontal. How far does it travel horizontally while it is falling from its highest point?

    [13.8 m]

    5. A ball is to be projected horizontally from a height of 6.2 m. With what velocity should it be
    projected so that it will travel 12 m before hitting the ground?
    [10.7 m/s]

    6. A ball thrown from a height of 3.0 m reaches a maximum height of 10.0 m before landing on the
    ground 18 m down the field from where it was thrown. With what velocity (magnitude and direction)
    was it thrown?
    [13.6 m/s at 60°]

    7. A ball is kicked from the ground so that its initial velocity is at 60º to the ground. It lands on the roof
    of a building 12 m above the ground, 9.0 m horizontally from where it was kicked.
    What was the speed of the ball immediately after it was kicked? [21 m/s]
