PROJECTILE MOTION Example 2

-A body which after being given an initial velocity A cannon ball is fired from point A with horizontal
(with an initial angle of release), is allowed to travel muzzle velocity of 120m/s. The cannon is located at
under the action of gravity alone. elevation 60 meters above ground. Determine time
for cannon to strike ball and range R.

Example 3
FORMULAS A ball is thrown from a position 5 ft above ground to
roof of a 40-ft high building. If initial velocity of ball is
70ft/s inclined at angle 60 degrees with horizontal.
Determine distance from point where ball is thrown
to where it strikes the roof.

Example 1
A shell leaves a mortar with muzzle velocity of 150
m/s directed upward at 60 degrees with the
horizontal. Determine the position of the shell and its
resultant velocity 20 seconds after firing. How high
will it rise?

Example 4
A stone is thrown from hill at angle 60 degrees with
horizontal at initial velocity 30 m/s. After hitting level
ground at base of hill, the stone covered a horizontal
distance of 150 meters. How high is the hill?
Practice Problem 1
A catapult is placed 100 ft from the castle wall, which is 35 feet high. The soldier wants the burning bale of
hay to clear the top of the wall and land 50 feet inside the castle wall. If the initial velocity of the bale is 70
feet per second, then at what angle should the bale of hay be launched so that it travel 150 feet and pass
over the castle wall. Use g = 32 ft/sec2.
Practice Problem 2
A bullet is fired at an initial velocity of 150 m/s and an angle of 56° at the top of a 120 m tall building.
Neglecting air resistance, determine the following:
1. The maximum height above the level ground that can be reached by the bullet.
2. The time for the bullet to hit the ground.
3. The velocity with which the bullet will hit the ground.
