1.Easy

A ball is launched horizontally from the top of a 15 m cliff. Ignore air resistance. Find the horizontal distance x travelled before the ball hits the ground.

v₀ = 8 m/sθ = 0°h = 15 mg = 9.81 m/s²

x = m

2.Easy

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60 m high wall and lands 30 m from the foot of the wall. Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s². Find the launch speed v₀.

h = 60 mx = 30 mg = 9.81 m/s²

v₀ = m/s

3.Medium

A ball is launched at 30° above horizontal from level ground. Ignore air resistance. Find the horizontal distance x travelled before the ball hits the ground.

v₀ = 14 m/sθ = 30°g = 9.81 m/s²

x = m

4.Medium

A ball is launched at 25° above horizontal from level ground. Ignore air resistance. Find the maximum height H the ball reaches.

v₀ = 36 m/sθ = 25°g = 9.81 m/s²

H = m

5.Hard

A ball is launched at 55° above horizontal from the top of a 40 m cliff. Ignore air resistance. Find the horizontal distance x travelled before the ball hits the ground.

v₀ = 34 m/sθ = 55°h = 40 mg = 9.81 m/s²

x = m

6.Hard

A ball is launched at 60° above horizontal from the top of a 55 m cliff. Ignore air resistance. Find the horizontal distance x travelled before the ball hits the ground.

v₀ = 24 m/sθ = 60°h = 55 mg = 9.81 m/s²

x = m

Answer key

1. x = 13.99 m
2. v₀ = 8.578 m/s
3. x = 17.3 m
4. H = 11.8 m
5. x = 133.9 m
6. x = 72.98 m
