Projectile Motion Problem-Solving Questions
1. A ball is thrown horizontally with a velocity of 20 m/s from a cliff 50 m high. How long will it take to
hit the ground, and what will be its horizontal range?
2. A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 45°. Calculate its time of
flight, maximum height, and range.
3. A soccer ball is kicked at an angle of 60° with a speed of 25 m/s. Find its maximum height and the
total time it stays in the air.
4. A cannonball is fired horizontally from the top of a tower at 40 m/s. If it hits the ground after 3
seconds, how high is the tower, and what is the horizontal distance covered?
5. An arrow is shot at a velocity of 50 m/s at an angle of 30°. Calculate the time it takes to reach the
highest point and the maximum height achieved.
6. A stone is thrown upward at an angle of 37° with a speed of 15 m/s. Find its total time of flight and
the horizontal distance traveled.
7. A baseball is hit at a speed of 35 m/s and at an angle of 53°. Calculate the range and maximum
height of the ball.
8. A water fountain projects water at 10 m/s at an angle of 70°. Find the height and horizontal
distance where the water hits the ground.
9. A basketball is thrown with an initial velocity of 8 m/s at an angle of 30° from a height of 2 m.
Calculate its total time of flight and the horizontal distance covered.
10. A projectile is launched at 25 m/s at an angle of 60°. What is its velocity and direction after 2
seconds of flight?
