Curvilinear Motion
Projectile
- any body with initial velocity that follows a
path called trajectory.
Equation for Projectile Motion
S Displacement
Vo Initial Velocity a acceleration
V Final Velocity t time elapsed
Example 1:
A football, kicked at an angle of 40 above the
ground, reaches a horizontal range of 190 ft.
(a) What was its initial speed?
(b) What was its maximum height?
(c) What was its time of flight?
Example 2:
A boy, upon seeing a ball on the ground,
kicked it at a certain angle with the horizontal.
The ball reached the highest point of its trajectory
2.50 sec after it was kicked, and traveled a
horizontal distance of 120m before hitting the
ground.
(a) What was the time of flight of the ball?
(b) What was the angle of firing of the ball?
(c) With what speed did the ball hit the ground?
Example 3:
In one of the UAAP games, a player released
the ball 7 ft above the ground when he was 17 ft
away horizontally from the basket. The basket is 10
ft above the ground. The ball sank in the basket
after 0.7 sec. Neglecting air resistance:
(a) What was the initial velocity of the ball?
(b) What was the angle of firing of the ball?
(c) With what speed did the ball sank in the
basket?
Example 4:
A stone is thrown at an angle 300 above the
horizontal from a windowsill that is 600 m above
the ground. If it reached the highest point 8
seconds later.
(a) With what speed was it thrown?
(b) How high above the ground did it rise?
(c) Where was it 4 sec and 12 sec after it was
thrown?
(d) With what speed did it strike the ground?
Example 5:
An archer shoots an arrow with a velocity of 30
m/s at an angle of 20 with respect to the
horizontal. An assistant standing on the level
ground 30 m downrange from the launch point
throws an apple straight up with the minimum
initial speed necessary to meet the path of the
arrow. What is the initial speed of the apple and at
what time after the arrow is launched should the
apple be thrown so that arrow hits the apple?
Example 6:
A swimmer dived off a cliff with a running
horizontal leap. What must his minimum speed be
just as he leaves the top of the cliff so that he will
miss the ledge at the bottom which is 2 m wide and
9 m below the top of the cliff?

Example 7:
A criminal is escaping across a rooftop and runs
off the roof horizontally, landing on the roof of an
adjacent building. The horizontal distance between
the two buildings is 340 cm, and the roof of the
adjacent building is 200 cm below the jumping off
point.
(a) What was the minimum jumping off speed
needed by the criminal?
(b) How long did it take the criminal to escape
from one building to the other?
(c) With what speed did the criminal land on the
roof of the adjacent building?
Example 8:
A horizontal rifle is fired at a bulls-eye. The
initial speed of the bullet is 67,000 cm/s. The barrel
is pointed directly at the center of the bulls-eye, but
the bullet strikes the target at a point 2.5 com below
the center.
(a) How long did it take the bullet to strike the
bulls-eye?
(b) What was the horizontal distance between the
end of the rifle and the bulls-eye?
(c) With what velocity did the bullet strike the
bulls-eye?
Example 9:
An airplane is flying with a velocity of 240 m/s
at an angle of 30 below the horizontal. A flare is
then released from the plane and hits a target on
the ground in 13s.
(a) What was the altitude of the plane when the
flare was released?
(b) At what horizontal distance from the plane was
the target when the flare was released?
(c) With what velocity did the flare hit the target?
