Question 4

In this question use g=9.8g = 9.8g=9.8 m s−2^{-2}−2.

A particle P P\,P is projected from a point on horizontal ground with speed 25 m s−1^{-1}−1 at an angle of 40° 40°\,40° above the horizontal. P P\,P is modelled as a particle moving freely under gravity.

a.

Find the greatest height reached by PPP.
