Problem Solving Grade 9
1. An arrow is shot from a bow with an initial velocity of v0=40 m/s at an angle of θ=30 ∘
with the horizontal. Calculate:
1. The time of flight.
2. The horizontal distance travelled (range).
3. The maximum height reached by the arrow.
2. A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a cliff with an initial horizontal velocity of
vx=10 m/s. The height of the cliff is h=45m. Calculate the time it takes for the ball to hit the
ground and the horizontal distance it travels.
3. A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a cliff that is 20 meters high. The initial
horizontal velocity of the ball is 10 m/s.
1. Find the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground.
2. Calculate the horizontal distance the ball travels before hitting the ground.
