5. A boy throws a stone horizontally off a cliff. It hits the sea 2 seconds
Topic: Projectile Motion Worksheet later, at a distance of 40 m from the foot of the cliff.
Calculate the
(a) height of the cliff
1. A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 23 ms-1 .Find the time
(b) initial speed of the stone
taken to reach the top of flight and the height gained. (c) direction in which the stone is moving when it strikes the water.
2. A place kicker kicks a football with a velocity of 20m/s and at an angle
of 53 degrees.
6. The figure Shows the path of a ball thrown horizontally from the top of
(a). How long is the ball in the air?
a tower of height 24m which is surrounded by level ground
(b). How far away does it land?

(c). How high does it travel?

3. Erica kicks a soccer ball 12m/s

at an angle of 400above the
horizontal.
