Motion in Two Dimensions. Projectile Motion Revision Questions

1. A cannon fires a projectile at 300 m/s from the ground level and the barrel forms a 53° angle to the vertical direction as shown in the figure.

Ignoring the air resistance and taking the magnitude of gravity equal to 10 m/s2, calculate the coordinates of the target if the projectile hits the target horizontally. Take the initial coordinates of the projectile as (0, 0). Also take cos 53° = 0.6 and sin 53° = 0.8.

  1. (4320 m, 2400 m)
  2. (4320 m, 2880 m)
  3. (4104 m, 2880 m)
  4. (240 m, 180 m)

Correct Answer: B

2. An object thrown from (0, 0) at an angle θ to the horizontal direction reaches its highest position at A (19.2 m, 7.2 m). What is tan θ if the air resistance is ignored? Take the magnitude of gravitational acceleration equal to 10 m/s2.

  1. 0.75
  2. 1.33
  3. 0.6
  4. 0.8

Correct Answer: A

3. A boy kicks a ball at θ = 45° to the horizon (cos 45° = sin 45° = 0.71). The magnitude of the ball's initial velocity is 25 m/s. How far is the boy from the goal if the ball hits the upper post, which is 2.5 m high? Ignore the air resistance and take the magnitude of g equal to 10 m/s2. The ball is falling down when it hits the post.
