Chattanooga State Community College Projectile Motion Worksheet

Your goal: Determine the appropriate initial velocity and launch angle to hit a targeted area
a specified distance away from the base of a building, assuming the projectile is launched
from the top of the building.

Your program shall:
1) calculate the maximum height achieved by the projectile

2) calculate the maximum distance it travels before hitting the ground

3) calculate the projectile’s total time of flight

4) tabulate t, x, y, Vx, and Vy from the launch of the projectile to touchdown

5) indicate whether the projectile has successfully hit its target

6) plot y vs. t
