    M4 Projectile Motion Extra Practice Problems

    1. A stone is thrown 8.0 m/s at an angle of 48.0° from a cliff 78.4 m high. How far from the
    base of the cliff does the stone strike the ground?

    2. A mortar shell is fired at an angle of 53° with a speed of 98 m/s.


    a) How long is the shell in the air?
    b) How far does it travel before hitting the ground?
    c) How high does it reach?

    3. A cannon is fired at 30° above the horizontal with a velocity of 210 m/s from the edge of a
    cliff 125 m high.
    Calculate where the cannonball lands on the level plain below.
    4. An athlete throws a 7.3 kg shot-put with an initial speed of 14 m/s at a 40° angle to the
    horizontal.
    Calculate the distance traveled if the shot leaves the shot-putter’s hand at a
    height of 2.2 m above the ground.

    5. A baseball is hit at 30.0 m/s at an angle of 53.0° with the horizontal. An outfielder runs
    4.00 m/s toward the infield and catches the ball at the same height from which it was hit.
    What was the original distance between the batter and the outfielder?
    Name: _________________________________________ Class________ No. ________

    6. A marksman is trying to hit a target from 1610 meters away. The rifle barrel and target are
    the same height above the ground. The muzzle velocity of the rifle is 1250 m/s.

    a. At what angle should the shooter aim her rifle in order to hit the target? Assume there is
    no wind or air resistance.

    b. What is the maximum height of the bullet above the rifle barrel?

    c. How long does it take the bullet to reach the target?

    7. An artillery shell is fired 1.75m above the ground at a 30.0° angle and an initial velocity of
    625 m/s. Assume no air resistance.

    a. How long until the shell reaches its peak (maximum height)?

    b. The artillery unit is trying to hit an enemy target that is beyond a mountain that has an
    elevation of 1250 m above the artillery’s launch point and is located 31500 km from the
    launch point. Will the shell clear the mountain top?
    8. An object is thrown from the ground into the air at an angle of 30.0° to the horizontal. If
    this object reaches a maximum height of 5.75 m, at what velocity was it thrown?

    9. An object is projected from the ground into the air at an angle of 35.0° to the horizontal. If
    this object is in the air for 9.26 s, with what velocity was it thrown?

    10. Charles shoots an arrow which takes 11 s to come back down to bow level 112 m from
    the bow. What was the horizontal velocity of the arrow when it left the bow?
    Name: _________________________________________ Class________ No. ________

    11. Danny built a catapult to launch 100 kg boulders. If he launches a boulder which reaches
    a maximum height of 107.3 m and lands 218.8 m away in 9.3 s (ignore the height of the
    catapult), what was the boulder’s velocity and angle when it left the catapult?
