Horizontal Projectiles Mastery Quiz

What is the formula to calculate the range of a horizontal projectile?

What factor does the maximum height of a projectile not depend on?

• The initial velocity

• The angle of launch

• The acceleration due to gravity

• The horizontal velocity

If the horizontal velocity of a projectile is doubled, how does it affect the range of the projectile?

• The range is doubled.

• The range is quadrupled.

• The range remains the same.

• The range is halved.

What is the angle of launch for maximum range in a vacuum (ignoring air resistance)?

How does the maximum height of a horizontal projectile change if the initial velocity is doubled?

• It remains the same.

• It doubles.

• It quadruples.

• It is halved.

What is the horizontal velocity of a projectile that travels a distance of 200 meters in 4 seconds?

• 50 m/s

• 100 m/s

• 200 m/s

• 40.8 m

• 81.6 m

• 90.7 m

• 60.5 m

If the time of flight of a horizontal projectile is 5 seconds, what is its horizontal displacement? (Assume horizontal velocity is 10 m/s)

• 50 m

• 100 m

• 25 m

• 75 m

Which of the following statements is true for a projectile launched horizontally from a certain height?
