This document contains two physics problems involving projectile motion. Problem 1 involves calculating the time and height for a ball projected horizontally off a table. It falls 0.43m before hitting the ground, with an initial velocity of 1.1m/s. The mass of a second ball is increased, but air resistance is still negligible. Problem 2 looks at water leaving a hose at height h above the ground, hitting the ground 3.5m away after 0.53s. The horizontal velocity remains constant, and the displacement is less than the distance along the path due to the vertical motion.

1 (a) Complete Fig.1.1 to indicate whether each of the quantities is a vector or a scalar. quantity vector or
scalar acceleration speed power Fig.1.1 [2]

(b) A ball is projected with a horizontal velocity of 1.1ms–1 from point A at the edge of a table, as shown in
Fig.1.2.

Fig.1.2
The ball lands on horizontal ground at point B which is a distance of 0.43m from the base of the table. Air
resistance is negligible.
(i) Calculate the time taken for the ball to fall from A to B.

ime = ....................................................... s [1]

(ii) Use your answer in (b)(i) to determine the height of the table.

height = ...................................................... m [2]


(iii) The ball leaves the table at time t = 0. For the motion of the ball between A and B, sketch graphs on
Fig.1.3 to show the variation with time t of
1. the acceleration a of the ball,
2. the vertical component sv of the displacement of the ball from A.
Numerical values are not required.

(c) A ball of greater mass is projected from the table with the same velocity as the ball in (b). Air resistance
is still negligible.
State and explain the effect, if any, of the increased mass on the time taken for the ball to fall to the ground.

2. Water leaves the end of a hose pipe at point P with a horizontal velocity of 6.6ms–1, as shown in Fig. 2.1.

Fig. 2.1 (not to scale)


Point P is at height h above the ground. The water hits the ground at point Q. The horizontal distance from
P to Q is 3.5m. Air resistance is negligible. Assume that the water between P and Q consists of non-
interacting droplets of water and that the only force acting on each droplet is its weight.
(a) Explain, briefly, why the horizontal component of the velocity of a droplet of water remains
constant as it moves from P to Q.
