Class 11 Physics simulations · Motion in a Plane

Projectile landing on a slope

Launch above a hillside and locate the point where the projectile meets the rising ground.

Open the simulation

What to notice

A rising landing surface shortens flight time compared with level ground.

Key relation

t = 2v(sinθ − cosθ tanβ)/g

Try this

Steepen the slope while keeping the angle above the slope fixed.

What you can change

• Launch speed: 5 to 30 m/s
• Hill slope β: 0 to 35 °
• Angle above hill: 5 to 45 °
