What are some possible questions you can be asked on projectile motion if you are given the following information (angle of inclination and the total time of flight and the range).

So for example, they could ask me to find the maximum height, velocity, etc. Any suggestions on what questions may be asked?

  • Angle of inclination
  • Total time of flight
  • Range
From what I've seen, the range is quite common and the total time of flight. I don't think they ask many questions to find the angle (or if they do, it is only used to help find other values as mentioned).

Try Success One.

a) Time of flight
b) max height reached
c) range
d) final velocity on impact
e) acceleration at top if it's path = remember horiz velocity is constant so a=0 therefore avertical=+9.8m/s^2 is the only acceleration acting and it is constant all throughout the journey.
