HW Mixed Projectile Motion Worksheet
1.
A stone is thrown horizontally from a cliff 30m high with an initial speed of 20m/s. How far
from the cliff does the stone strike the ground?
2. A ball rolls off the edge of a table 1.44m above the floor and strikes the floor at a point 2m
horizontally from the edge of the table.
A) What is the time the ball was in the air?
B) What is the initial velocity of the ball?
3. A golfer hits a ball and gives it an initial velocity of 40 m/s, at an angle of 30º above the
horizontal.
A) How long does the ball stay in the air?
B) How far horizontally (the range) does the ball travel before hitting the ground?
4. A bomber is flying at a height of 9 km at 800 km/h. How far in front of the target should he
drop his bombs? (Note: convert your units)
5. A batter hits a ball and it is caught 4 seconds later 100 m from home plate. What is the initial
velocity (vector!!!) of the ball? (Note: the ball is hit and caught at the same distance from the
ground. See picture below.)
6. A cat jumps off a table which is 1.5 m high. If the initial velocity of the cat is 10 m/s, at an
angle of 37º above the horizontal, how far from the edge of the table does the cat land?
1) 49.4 m 2a) 0.542 sec, b) 3.69 m/s [horizontal], 3a) 4.08 sec, b) 141 m, 4) 9524 m, 5) 31.8 m/s [38º above horizon], 6) 11.5m
