Problem Set 6: Gravitation, Free-fall and Projectile

1. What must be the separation between a 5.2 kg object and a 2.4 kg object so that the gravitational
attraction between them will be 2.3 × 10–12 N?

2. At what height above Earth’s surface would the acceleration due to gravity be 4.9 m/s2?

3. A ball dropped from the roof of a building takes 4.0 s to reach the street. How many feet high is the
building?

4. The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mars is 3.7 m/s2. A stone thrown upward on Mars
reaches a height of 15 m. (a) Find its initial velocity. (b) What is the total time of flight?

5. A baseball is thrown straight upward with a speed of 98.43 ft/s. (a) How long will it rise? (b) How
high will it rise? (c) How long after it left the hand will it return to its starting point? (d) When will its
speed be 16 m/s? (There are two answers in question d).

6. An orangutan throws a coconut vertically upward at the foot of a cliff 131.24 ft high while his mate
simultaneously drops another coconut from the top of the cliff. The two coconuts collide at an
altitude of 65.62 ft. What was the initial velocity of the coconut that was thrown upward?

7. An apple is thrown vertically downward from a cliff 48 m high and reaches the ground 2.0 s later.
What was the apple’s initial velocity in m/s?

8. A ball was thrown with a speed of 40 m/s at an angle of 51° above the horizontal.
(a) Determine the maximum height it will reach.
(b) How far from the thrower will it land?

9. A football, kicked at an angle of 50° to the horizontal, travels a horizontal distance of 20 m before
hitting the ground. Find (a) the initial speed of the football, (b) the total time of its flight, and (c) the
maximum height it reaches.

10. A shell is fired at 610 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Find it’s (a) height of rise and
(b) range on horizontal ground.

11. A body is projected at an angle of 30° above the horizontal and an initial speed of 49 m/s.
(a) How many seconds would it take to reach the ground?
(b) How far from the point it was projected will it be when it hit the ground?
(c) At what speed and angle will it strike the ground?

12. A marble traveling at 100 cm/s rolls off the edge of a level table. If it hits the floor 30 cm away from
the spot directly below the edge of the table, how high is the table?

13. A bomb is dropped from a height of 10,000 m by a plane, which has a horizontal velocity of 150 m/s.
(a) How far horizontally from the point of release does it strike the ground?
(b) Locate the bomb 30 s after it was released.
(c) What was its velocity at this time?

14. A body is projected at an angle of 30° below the horizontal with an initial speed of 40 m/s
from the top of a cliff 150 m high.
(a) After how many seconds will it hit the ground?
(b) How far from the foot of the hill will it land?
