PROJECTILE MOTION PRACTICE SHEET – 1

1. The range of a particle when launched at an angle of 15° with the horizontal is 1.5
km. What is the range of the projectile when launched at an angle 45° to the
horizontal? (3 km)
2. A ball of mass m is thrown vertically up. Another ball of mass 2m is thrown at an
angle with the vertical. Both of them stay in air for the same period of time. What is
the ratio of the height attained by the two balls? (1)
3. A body is projected with the velocity u1 from the point A as shown in Figure. At the
same time another body is projected vertically upwards with the velocity u 2 from the
u1 2
point B. What should be the value of for both the bodies to collide? ( )
u2 √3
4. A relief aero plane is flying at a constant height of 1960 m with speed 600 km/h
above the ground towards a point directly over a person struggling in flood water. At
what angle of sight with the vertical should the pilot release a survival kit if it is to
reach the person in water? g = 9.8m/s2 ( = 60°)
5. Two paper screens A and B are separated by a distance of 100 m. A bullet pierces A
and then B. The hole in B is 10 cm below the hole in A. If the bullet is travelling
horizontally at the time of hitting the screen A, calculate the velocity of the bullet
when it hits the screen A. (700 m/s)
6. A ball rolls off top of a stair way with a horizontal velocity u. If each step has h height
and b width, the ball will just hit the edge of nth step. Find the value of n.

7. A football player kicks a ball at an angle of 30° with an initial speed of 20 m/s.
Assuming that the ball travels in a vertical plane, calculate (a) the time at which the
ball reaches the highest point (b) the maximum height reached (c) the horizontal
range of the ball (d) the time for which the ball is in the air, (g = 10 m/s 2) (1 s, 5 m,
36.64 m, 2 s)

8. Two bodies are thrown with the same initial speed at angles  and (90° –) with the
horizontal. What will be the ratio of (i) maximum heights attained by them and (ii) of
horizontal ranges? ¿)2, 1
9. What is the ratio of P.E. w.r.t. ground and K.E. at the top most point of the projectile
motion? ¿)2
10. A particle is projected with a velocity u making an angle  with the horizontal. At an
instant when, its velocity v is at right angles to its initial velocity u; then find out v. (u
cot )
