1.Easy

A ball is kicked from level ground at 32 m/s and 45° above the horizontal. Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s². How long t after the kick does it reach its highest point?

v₀ = 32 m/sθ = 45°g = 9.81 m/s²

t = s

2.Easy

A ball is kicked from level ground at 24 m/s and 35° above the horizontal. Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s². How long t after the kick does it reach its highest point?

v₀ = 24 m/sθ = 35°g = 9.81 m/s²

t = s

3.Medium

A ball is launched at 30° above horizontal from level ground. Ignore air resistance. Find the time of flight t until the ball hits the ground.

v₀ = 38 m/sθ = 30°g = 9.81 m/s²

t = s

4.Medium

A ball is launched at 35° above horizontal from level ground. Ignore air resistance. Find the time of flight t until the ball hits the ground.

v₀ = 36 m/sθ = 35°g = 9.81 m/s²

t = s

5.Hard

A ball is launched at 35° above horizontal from the top of a 45 m cliff. Ignore air resistance. Find the time of flight t until the ball hits the ground.

v₀ = 27 m/sθ = 35°h = 45 mg = 9.81 m/s²

t = s

6.Hard

A ball is launched at 20° above horizontal from the top of a 20 m cliff. Ignore air resistance. Find the horizontal distance x travelled before the ball hits the ground.

v₀ = 29 m/sθ = 20°h = 20 mg = 9.81 m/s²

x = m

Answer key

1. t = 2.307 s
2. t = 1.403 s
3. t = 3.874 s
4. t = 4.21 s
5. t = 4.994 s
6. x = 89.09 m
