A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 40 m/s at an angle of 25° above the horizontal.
(a) What are the horizontal and the vertical components of initial velocity.
(b) Find the time taken by the projectile to reach the highest point and its height at the highest point.
(c) How long does it take the projectile to hit the ground after launch and how far from the starting point it hits the ground.
(d) Calculate the velocity (magnitude and the angle) of the projectile 3.0 s after launch.
(e) What is the position (horizontal and vertical) of the projectile 3.0 s after launch?
given that
initial speed u = 40 m/s
angle = 25 degrees
a) x component of initial velocity ux = ucos(theta) = 40 cos 25 = 36.25 m/s
y component of velocity uy = usin(theta) = 40 sin(25) = 16.9 m/s
b) time taken to reach the highest point t = usin(theta)/g
t = 16.9/9.81 = 1.72 sec
maximum height h max = u^2*sin^2(theta)/2g
h max = 16.9^2/2*9.81 = 14.6 m
c) total time T = 2usin(theta)/g
T = 2*16.9/9.81 = 3.44 sec
total horizontal distance = u^2*sin(2theta)/g = 40^2*sin(2*25)/9.81 = 124.94 m
d) after 3 sec
vx = ux = 36.25 m/s
vy = uy-gt
vy = 16.9-9.81*3 = -12.53 m/s
magnitude v = sqrt(vx^2+vy^2)
v = 38.35 m/s
angle = tan^-1(-12.53/36.25) = 19.06 degrees below the x axis
e) after 3 sec
horizontal distance x = ux*t = 36.25*3 = 108.75 m
vertical distance y = uy*t-1/2*gt^2
y = 16.9*3-1/2*9.81*3^2
y = 50.7-44.145
y = 6.555 m

A projectile is launched at an angle 10º below horizontal with initial speed 70 m/s from the edge of a vertical cliff. In a while the projectile hits the ground with speed 120 m/s. Find horizontal distance traveled by the projectile, total displacement and height of the cliff.
A metal marble is launched with a speed of v0 = 30.0m/s at 5.0 ◦ relative to the horizontal, from a height of 1.0 m above ground, and towards a very tall vertical wall, which is 6.0 m away from the launch position. The projectile may first hit the wall, or the ground. Whichever it turns out to be, assume that this is an elastic, specular collision, so that the projectile bounces off. After some time, the projectile will have...
