Projectile Motion Problems
1. On level ground a ball is thrown with an unknown angle ball is in the air 2s
and strikes the ground 100m. With what speed and at what angle was the
ball thrown?
2. Find the maximum height and distance for and object launch with a initial
velocity of 10 m/s at 30°.
3. A cannon fires a cannonball 500.0 m downrange when set at a 45°.
angle. At what velocity does the cannonball leave the cannon?
4. A cat jumps off a table that is 1m high. The initial velocity of the cat is
45cm/s at an angle of 37º above the horizontal. How far from the edge of
the table does the cat strikes the ground?
5. A football is kicked at 37°. to the horizontal at 20.0 m/s from the player’s
hand at 1.00 m from the ground. How far did the football travel before
hitting the ground?
6. A baseball player leads off the game and hits a long home run. The ball
leaves the bat at an angle of 30°. from the horizontal with a velocity of
40.0 m/s. How far will it travel in the air?
7. A punter in a football game kicks a ball from the goal line at 60°. from the
horizontal at 25.0 m/s. What is the hang time of the punt?How far down
field does the ball land?
8. A canon ball fired horizontally from a cliff has a velocity directed at 60 °.
With the horizontal when it hits the ground 3.0 seconds later.
How high is the cliff?How far from the base of the cliff does the canon ball
land?
9. 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 degrees:At what
velocity should she throw the bag? How far from the house is he standing
when he throws the bag?

10. A little boy pushes a wagon with his dog in it. The mass of the dog and
wagon together is 45 kg. The wagon accelerates at 0.85 m/s2. What force
is the boy pulling with?
11. A 1650 kg car accelerates at a rate of 4.0 m/s2. How much force is the
car's engine producing?
12. A 68 kg runner exerts a force of 59 N. What is the acceleration of the
runner?
13. A crate is dragged across an ice covered lake. The box accelerates at
0.08 m/s2 and is pulled by a 47 N force. What is the mass of the box?
14. Three women push a stalled car. Each woman pushes with a 425 N force.
What is the mass of the car if the car accelerates at 0.85 m/s2?
15. A tennis ball, 0.314 kg, is accelerated at a rate of 164 m/s2 when hit by a
professional tennis player. What force does the player's tennis racket exert
on the ball?
16. When an F-14 airplane takes-off an aircraft carrier it is literally catapulted
off the flight deck. The plane's final speed at take-off is 68.2 m/s. The F-14
starts from rest. The plane accelerates in 2 seconds and has a mass of
29,545 kg. What is the total force that gets the F-14 in the air?
17. A sports car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph, in 6.3 seconds. The car exerts a
force of 4106 N. What is the mass of the car?
18. Determine the acceleration of a 15 kg box down a 30° slope if the
coefficient of friction is 0.15.
19. A carton lies on a plane tilted at an angle θ = 24.5° to the horizontal, with
µk = 0.07.Determine the acceleration of the carton as it slides down the
20. A block slide down on a frictionless, inclined plane that makes an angle
30º with the horizontal. Find the acceleration on the block?
21. Determine the acceleration of a 20kg block sliding down a inclined plane
surface with an angle of 35° with the horizontal and with a coefficient of
kinetic friction of 0.35
22. A 350kg motorcycle taxi is traveling up a 8° incline with a force of 350N if
the coefficient f kinetic friction is 0.15. What is the acceleration of the
motorcycle taxy?
23. A 45kg box is slides down on an incline 6m long and 2m high. A worker
pushed up on the box parallel to the incline with a force of a 100N. What
is the acceleration of the box?
24. A force of 20 N acts horizontally on a mass of 10 kg being pushed up a
frictionless incline that makes a 30º angle with the horizontal. What is the
acceleration of the box up the incline?
