PHYSICS Practice Tests: Ch 3 - Trajectory Motion

1. The horizontal distance covered by a projectile in trajectory motion is maximized at which angle? _____

2. A ball is thrown at 20 m/s at 30 degrees.  The horizontal velocity component at the end of the flight is

3.  In trajectory motion, the initial horizontal velocity is _____ the final horizontal velocity.

4. In trajectory motion, the vertical acceleration is _______.

5. A projectile is launched at an angle of 60 degrees at 50 m/s.  How far has it traveled after 12 seconds?

6. The time it takes to get to the highest point of the path is ________ the total hang time of an object in trajectory motion.

7. A rock is thrown at 9475 m/s at 26.897 degrees and hits the ground 20 seconds later.  If we consider air (moving at a constant velocity with constant density) as a factor in its flight, how long did it take to reach the highest point in its flight?

8. A rocket is launch at a speed of 400 m/s at an angle of 90 degrees.  How high does it go?

9. A football is thrown at 85 m/s at an angle of 45 degrees.  How far does it go before hitting the ground?

10. Kevin throws a softball to John at 40 m/s at an angle of 70 degrees.  How high does it get and how long does it take to get to that maximum height?  How far away is John and how long does it take for the softball to get to him?
 
11. A bazooka is fired at 1200 m/s at an angle of 70 degrees.  How high does it get and how long does it take to get to the maximum height?  How far (along the ground) does the shell travel and how long does it stay in the air?
