Projectile Motion starts at 9 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Projectile Motion.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A projectile is launched from the ground and lands at the same level. At what point is its speed minimum?
If a projectile is launched at an angle of 45° with the same initial speed as one launched at 30°, which will have a greater range?
If a projectile is launched at an angle θ, what is the relationship between the ranges for angles θ and (90° - θ) with the same initial speed?
If the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that on Earth, how will the range of a projectile (with same initial velocity and angle) compare on the Moon to that on Earth?
A ball is projected horizontally from a 45 m high cliff with a speed of 10 m/s. How far from the base of the cliff will the ball land? (Take g = 10 m/s²)
A ball is thrown at 10 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. What is the time of flight? (Take g = 10 m/s², sin 60° = 0.87)
A ball is thrown at 15 m/s at an angle of 37° above the horizontal. What is the horizontal component of its velocity? (cos 37° = 0.8)
A ball is thrown at 20 m/s at an angle of 0° above the horizontal. What is its range if it lands at the same height? (Take g = 10 m/s²)
