An athlete runs some distance before taking a long jump. Why?

A hunter fires a bullet directly towards a monkey sitting at a distant tree. At the instant, the bullet leaves the barrel, the monkey drops. Will the bullet hit the monkey?

A ball is thrown horizontally and at the same time another ball is dropped vertically from the top of a tower. Will both the balls strike the ground with same velocity?

A ball is thrown as a projectile. Is there any point, where the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity?

Prove that the range of a projectile is the same at complementary angles.

Is it important for an athlete to attain a certain vertical height to attain a longer distance?

In projectile motion why is there no change in the horizontal component of the velocity of the body?

Find the angle of projection at which the horizontal range and the maximum height of a projectile are equal.

A small ball and another big ball are dropped from the same height. Which one will reach the ground first?

The direction of motion of a projectile becomes horizontal at maximum height. Why?

If the initial velocity of a projectile is doubled, what happens to its maximum range?
