    PART A – HORIZONTAL PROJECTILE MOTION

    A1. A golfer practicing on a range with an elevated tee 4.9 m above the fairway is able to strike a
    ball so that it leaves the club with a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s.

    a) How long after the ball leaves the club will it land on the fairway? 1s

    b) What horizontal distance will the ball travel before striking the fairway? 20 m

    c) What is the acceleration of the ball 0.5 s after being hit? 9.81 m/s2

    d) Calculate the speed of the ball 0.80 s after it leaves the club. 21.5 m/s

    e) With what speed will the ball strike the ground? 22.3 m/s

    A2. A bowling ball of mass 7.5 kg travelling at 10 m/s rolls off a horizontal table 1 m high.

    a) Calculate the ball’s horizontal velocity just as it strikes the floor. 10 m/s

    b) What is the vertical velocity of the ball as it strikes the floor? – 4.4 m/s

    c) Calculate the velocity of the ball as it reaches the floor. 10.9 m/s [24o depression]

    d) How much time does it take for the ball to reach the floor? 0.45 s

    e) Calculate the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as it falls. 4.5 m

    A3. A diver runs off a 10-metre high diving platform with an initial velocity of 2 m/s [horizontal].

    How far from the base of the platform will he land in the water? 2.9 m

    A4. 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 did the can land? 4.6 m

    A5. A physics teacher hurls himself horizontally from a third storey window. The window
    is 26 m above the ground. He lands in a snow pile located 4.1 m from the base of the
    building (measured horizontally).

    What was the teacher’s initial horizontal velocity? 1.8 m/s

    horizontal. The projectile strikes a point on the wall 1 m above the ground.
    Find the maximum height (h), range (Δdx) , and flight time (Δt)

    C3 A projectile is launched from a cliff at a wall that is 15 m away from the cliff face (measured
    horizontally) with a speed of 10 m/s at an angle of 30o above the horizontal.
    Find the vertical change of position (relative to the height of the cliff) at which the projectile strikes the
    wall (Δdy) , and the corresponding flight time (Δt)

    C4 A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff 125 m above ground level with an initial speed of 65 m/s at
    an angle of 37 o above the horizontal. Determine the magnitude and the direction of the velocity at the
    maximum height.
