Ball does projectile motion in other words it does free fall in vertical and linear motion in horizontal. Time of motion
for horizontal and vertical is same. Thus in vertical;
h=1/2g.t²
80=1/2.10.t²
t=4s
2. An object hits the ground as given in the picture below. Find the initial velocity of the object.
V₀=Vx=Vcos53⁰
Vx=V₀=30m/s.0,6
V₀=Vx=18m/s
3. An object is thrown with an angle 37⁰ with horizontal. If the initial velocity of the object is 50m/s, find the time of
motion, maximum height it can reach, and distance in horizontal.
V₀x=V₀cos53⁰=50.0,8=40m/s
V₀y=V₀y.sin53⁰=50.0,6=30m/s
t=30/10=3s
2.t=time of motion=2.3=6s
b) V₀y²=hmax.2.g
hmax=302/2.10=45m
c) X=V₀x.ttotal=40.6=240m
4. A balloon having 20 m/s constant velocity is rising from ground to up. When the balloon reaches 160 m height, an
object is thrown horizontally with a velocity of 40m/s with respect to balloon. Find the horizontal distance travelled
by the object.
Object has velocity 40m/s in horizontal, 20m/s in vertical and its height is 160m. We can find time of motion with
following formula;
h=V₀y.t-1/2.g.t²
-160=20.t-1/2.10.t²
t²=4t-32
(t-8).(t+8)=0
t=8s
X=V₀x.t=40.8=320m.
5. Objects A and B are thrown with velocities as shown in the figure below. Find the ratio of horizontal distances
taken by objects.
Time of flight is directly proportional to vertical component of velocity. Vertical velocity component of A is three
times bigger than vertical velocity component of B.
tA/tB=3 tB=tA/3
XA=VA.tA
XB=VB.tB
VA=VB/2
VB=2.VA
XA=VA.tA
XB=2.VA.tA/3
XA/XB=3/2
