Projectile Motion

1. A bullet hit a target 301.5 m away. What maximum height above the muzzle did the bullet reach if it
was shot at an angle of 25 degrees to the ground?
2. A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff 125 m above ground level with an initial speed of 65.0 m/s
at an angle of 37oabove the horizontal. Determine the magnitude and the direction of the velocity at
the maximum height.
3. A boy kicked a can horizontally from a 6.5 m high rock with a speed of 4.0 m/s.
How far from the base of the rock the can land?
4. A projectile has an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal.
What is the location of the projectile 2.0 seconds later?
5. A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 120 m/s at an angle above the horizontal.
If the projectile's initial horizontal speed is 55 m/s, then at what angle was it fired?
6. A flea stands 2.00 m from a dog's haunches which are 55 cm in height. Jumping at an angle of 32
degrees, what initial speed must the flea have to reach her new home?
7. Water is leaving a hose at 6.8 m/s. If the target is 2 m away horizontally, what angle should the water
leave the hose at?

Free Fall
1. A 10 [kg] object is dropped from rest. How far will it drop in 2 [s]?
2. An object is dropped from rest from the top of a 100 [m] building. How long will it take for the object
to hit the ground?
3. A cliff diver from the top of a 100 [m] cliff. He begins his dive by jumping up with a velocity of 5 [m/s].
a. How long does it take for him to hit the water below?
b. What is his velocity right before he hits the water?
4. A bullet is shot vertically into the air with a velocity of +450 [m/s]. Neglecting air resistance,
a. How long is the bullet in the air?
b. How high does the bullet go?
