Suppose I throw a rock horizontally with an initial speed of 30 m/s. Suppose my release point is 2 m above
the ground.
(a) How long does it take for the rock to hit the ground?
(b) How far in the horizontal direction does the rock travel?
(c) What is the speed of the rock right before it hits the ground?
In projectile motion lab, you fired a projectile out of your launcher vertically up at 5.0
m/s. Assume the projectile leaves the launcher's barrel at 1.15 m above the floor and
has a tiny horizontal velocity so it could clear the launcher on its way down and hit
the floor, how long will it take to strike the floor?
Ignore air drag.
Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.
A ball is kicked from the ground with an initial speed of 10 m/s at a 50 degree angle with the horizontal.
a) Calculate the magnitude of the ball’s velocity just before it hits the ground.
b) Suppose a house is in the path of the ball and instead of landing on the ground, it lands on the roof (12m high). How long after the kick will the ball collide with the roof?
I’ve found that:
Horizontal range= 10.05 m
Total flight time of ball= 1.56 s
Maximum height= 3 m
