Horizontal Projectile
In horizontal projectile motion, the particle is projected with an initial horizontal velocity u from a
certain height having zero angle of projection. In other words, the initial vertical velocity component
of the projectile is zero.
Take downward direction as positive y-axis and rightward direction as positive x-axis direction.
Let H be the height of the building.
Initial velocity of the ball = u y = 0
Acceleration in vertical direction = a y = g
Displacement in vertical direction = s y = H
Second equation of kinematics:
1
=
s y u yt + g yt 2

Substituting value of velocity, acceleration and displacement,

A bullet is to be fired with a speed of 2000 ms –1 to hit a target 200 m away on the ground
level. If g = 10 ms –2, where should the gun be aimed?
(A) Directly at the target (B) 5 cm above the target
(C) 2 cm below the target (D) 5 cm below the target
Solution
2
h = 0.05 m
h = 5m
Positive sign of height indicates that the gun should be aimed 5 cm above the target.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
Water is flowing at the rate of 10 ms –1 through a pipe which is at a height of 10 m from the
ground. How far should the pot be kept from the pipe so that the water reaches the pot?

At the height 80 m, an airplane is moving with 150 ms –1. A bomb is dropped from it to
hit the target. At what horizontal distance from the target should the bomb be dropped?
(g = 10 ms –2)
Solution
As the bomb is dropped from a flying airplane, its initial velocity will be the same as the airplane,
i.e., 150 ms –1 in horizontal direction.
For vertical direction,
