1. A ball is dropped from 20 meters above the ground with horizontal velocity of 2 m/s . how long
does it take to hit the ground?[g=10 m/s2]
2. A pebble is thrown vertically upward at 4 m/s starting from ground level. How long does it take for
the ball to return to the ground? ?[g=10 m/s2]
3. A football player kicks a ball from the goal line at 60o from the horizontal at 25 m/s.
a) What is the hang time of the football?
b) How far down field does the ball land?
4. A cannon fires a cannonball 500 m when set at a 45o angle. At what velocity does the cannonball
leave the cannon?
5. A boy wants to throw a bag of candy into the open window of his bedroom at 10.0 m above.
Assuming it just reaches the window, he throws the bag at 60o to the ground:
(a)At what velocity should he throw the bag?
(b)How far from the house is he standing when he throws the bag?
6. A baseball player hits ball which leaves the bat at an angle of 30o from the horizontal with a velocity
of 40 m/s. How far will it travel in the air?
7. A golfer is teeing off on a 170.0 m long par 3 hole. The ball leaves with a velocity of 40 m/s at 30o 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)?
8. A rescue pilot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying at an altitude of 2000 m with a forward
velocity of 100 m/s. If air friction is disregarded, how far from drop point the survival kit will land?
9. A tiger leaps horizontally from a 12 m high rock with a speed of 4.5 m/s. How far from the base of
the rock will tiger land?
10. A diver running 1.6 m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and reaches the water
3.0 s later. How high was the cliff and how far from its base did the diver hit the water?

from the same height. How long does it take the peach to reach the ground?
12. A canon ball fired horizontally from a cliff has a velocity directed at 60o below horizontal when it
hits the ground 3.0 seconds later.
a) How high is the cliff?
b) How far from the base of the cliff does the canon ball land?
13. A cricketer hits ball with speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 300 with horizontal, Determine;

(ii) Maximum distance along horizontal
(iii) Time for which ball remains in air
(iv) Resultant velocity and direction after 0.5 seconds
14. A projectile is to be launched at an angle of 30° so that it falls beyond the pond of length 20 meters
as shown in the figure.
a) What is the range of values of the initial velocity so that the projectile falls between points M and
N?
