Projectile

This document contains 17 problems related to projectile motion. The problems involve calculating various projectile motion parameters such as maximum height, range, velocity, angle of projection, and horizontal/vertical distances given information such as initial velocity, angle of projection, time of flight, and other variables. Analytical solutions are provided for each problem involving the application of kinematic equations of motion under constant acceleration due to gravity.

attained. Find the range on horizontal plane.

7. An aeroplane is flying in the horizontal direction with a velocity 540 km/hr at a height of 2000 m. when it
is vertically above the point ‘A’ on the ground, a body is dropped from it. The body strikes the ground at
point B. Calculate the distance AB.

away from the edge of the table, what was its speed at the instant it left the table.

time it takes to reach the ground, (b) the horizontal distance it travels before reaching the ground, (c) the
velocity (direction and magnitude) with which it strikes the ground.
