Projectile - Question 2

Edexcel AS-level PhysicsMotionLesson 31 of 31

A golf ball is struck from level ground at 25 ms-1 at 40° above the horizontal. Ignoring air resistance, calculate (i) the maximum height, (ii) the time of flight and (iii) the horizontal range.

Step 1: resolve the launch velocity.

uH = 25cos40° = 19.15 ms-1    uV = 25sin40° = 16.07 ms-1
