1. A projectile launcher is set at an angle of 45° above the horizontal and fires an object with a
speed of 2.2 x 102 m/s. The object lands at the same height from which it was launched.
Air resistance is negligible. Calculate the object's
(a) time of flight [ans: 32 s]
(b) horizontal range [ans: 4.9 × 10³ m]
(c) maximum height [ans: 1.2 x 10³ m]
(d) velocity at impact with the ground K A [ans: 2.2 X 102 m/s [45° below the horizontal]]
2. A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 14.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the
