Projectile Motion Worksheet
A ball rolls off a desk at a speed of 3.0 m/s and lands 0.40 seconds later.
How far from the base of the desk does the ball land?
How high is the desk?
What is the speed and angle of impact?
A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away.
At what speed was the stone launched?
What is the speed and angle of impact?
A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0 m/s across a level table that is 1.0 m above the floor. Upon reaching the edge of the table, it follows a parabolic path to the floor. How far along the floor is the landing spot from the table? [0.90 m]

The rifle barrel is 1.90 m from the ground. What speed must the bullet have been travelling at? Ignore friction. [321 m/s]
A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 25.0 m/s [E] and lands 70.0 m from the base of the ramp. How high is the end of the ramp from the ground? [38.5 m]
An astronaut stands on the edge of a lunar crater and throws a half-eaten Twinkie? horizontally with a velocity of 5.00 m/s. The floor of the crater is 100.0 m below the astronaut. What horizontal distance will the Twinkie? travel before hitting the floor of the crater? (The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1/6th that of the Earth). [55.3 …show more content…
The ball leaves with a velocity of 40.0 m/s at 50.0o 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)? [9.38 m]
A punter in a football game kicks a ball from the goal line at 60.0o from the horizontal at 25.0 m/s.
What is the hang time of the punt? [4.41 s]
How far down field does the ball land? [55.2 m]
A cannon fires a cannonball 500.0 m downrange when set at a 45.0o angle. At what velocity does the cannonball leave the cannon? [70.0 m/s at 45.0o]
A lovesick lad wants to throw a bag of candy and love notes into the open window of his girlfriend?s bedroom 10.0 m above. Assuming it just reaches the window, he throws the love gifts at 60.0o to the ground:
At what velocity should she throw the bag? [16.2 m/s at 60.0o to the ground]
How far from the house is he standing when he throws the bag? [11.5 m]
You are piloting a helicopter which is rising vertically at a uniform velocity of 14.70 m/s. When you reach 196.00 m, you see Barney (Uh-oh). A large object is projected with a horizontal velocity of 8.50 m/s from the rising
