Handout Problems: 1. When a projectile is fired horizontally, which of the components of its motion is (a) motion at constant speed; (b) uniformly accelerated motion? (c) If the initial velocity of the projectile is increased, what effect will this have on the time it takes the projectile to fall to the ground? 2. A baseball man throws a ball horizontally. If he were to throw the ball with a greater speed, how would it affect (a) the time it would take for the ball to land on the ground, and (b) how far away the ball would land. 3. Why does a bullet shot horizontally at a wall appear to move in a straight line path? 4. A bullet is shot horizontally at a speed of 120 m/s at a wall 60 meters away. (a) How long will it take the bullet to reach the wall? (b) How far will it fall (vertically) in that time? 5. A bullet fired horizontally from the top of a building has a muzzle velocity of 500 m/s. A similar bullet dropped from the top of the same building at the same time takes 4.00 s to reach the ground. (a) Which bullet lands first? (b) How far forward does the first bullet go before it hits the ground
