a) The time it takes for the object to hit the ground will remain constant because earth's gravity pulls on every object with the same amount of force. The object will accelerate towards the earth at 9.8m/s^2.
b) The rock will hit the ground farther away
You throw a rock horizontally. In a second horizontal throw, you throw the rock harder, and give it more speed.
a) How will the time it takes the rock to hit the ground be affected?
b) How will the increased speed affect the distance from where the rock l
8.4m
You took a running leap off a high-diving platform. You were running at 2.8m/s and hit the water 2.6s later. How high was the platform, and how far from the edge did you hit the water? Ignore air resistance.
a) d= 30m
b) 34.3m/s
An arrow is shot at 30 degrees above the horizontal. Its velocity is 49m/s, and hits the target.
a) What is the maximum height the arrow will attain?
b) The target is at the height from which the arrow was shot. How fast is it?
Horizontal motion will be uniform while vertical motion will be affected due to gravity. Horizontal motion and vertical motion can be independent of each other.
Analyze how horizontal motion can be uniform while vertical motion is accelerated. How will projectile motion be affected when drag due to air resistance is taken into consideration?
The airplane travels the same distance and will be exactly vertically above the point where the crate hits the ground.
An airplane flying at constant velocity and altitude drops a heavy crate. Ignoring air resistance, where will the plane be relative to the crate when it hits the ground?
92.3m from the base of the cliff.
You accidentally throw your car keys horizontally at 8m/s from a cliff 64m high. How far from the base of the cliff should you look for the keys?
a) 0.5s
b) 2.45m/s
The toy car in figure 6-12 runs off the edge of a table that is 1.225m high. The car lands 0.400m from the base of a table.
a) How long did it take the car to fall?
b) How fast was the car going on the table?
v= 31.01m/s
A pitched ball is hit by a batter at a 45 degree angle and just clears the outfield fence, 98m away. If the fence is at the same height as the pitch, find the velocity of the ball when it left the bat.
a) 1.43s
b) 496.5m
An airplane traveling 1,001m above the ocean at 125km/h is going to drop a box of supplies to ship-wrecked victims below.
a) How many seconds before the plane is directly overhead should the box be dropped?
b) What is the horizontal distance between the p
a) 10.2m
b) 1.02s
c) 5m
A stanton football player kicks a football from ground level with an initial velocity of 20m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. The ball strikes the ground without being caught. (neglect air resistance and wind.)
a) How high does the ball g

b) 9.81m/s
c) 20m/s

a) What is the approximate total time required for the ball to reach the ground?
b) What is the initial vertical velocity of the ball?
c) What is the horizon
a)25.7m/s
b)76.6m
A golf ball leaves a golf club with an initial velocity of 40 meters per second at an angle of 40 degrees with the horizontal.
a) What is the vertical component of the golf ball's initial velocity?
b) What is the horizontal distance traveled by the golf b
