Projectile Motion - Horizontally Launched Objects

This activity is designed to assess your understanding of horizontally launched objects.

AB
A ball is thrown horizontally from the Leaning Tower of Pisa with a velocity of 22 m/s. If the ball is thrown from a height of 49 m above ground, how far from the point on the ground directly below the launch point does the ball strike the ground?69.53 m
A ball is thrown horizontally with a velocity of 20 m/s from a tower 40 m high. Find the time of flight and the horizontal range of the ball.2.86 s; 57.11 m
A golf ball is driven horizontally with a speed of 40 m/s from a cliff 25.6 m high, and it lands on a level plain below. How long is the ball in the air? How far from the base of the cliff does it strike the ground?2.28 s; 91.38 m
A stone thrown horizontally from the top of a tall building takes 7.56 s to reach the street. How high is the building? If the stone lands 55 m from the base of the building, find the stone's initial velocity.280.34 m; 7.28 m/s
A bullet is projected horizontally at 300 m/s from a height of 1.5 m. Ignoring air resistance, calculate how far it travels before it hits the ground.165.90 m
