Question 24

A particle P P\,P is projected from the ground with velocity u(3i+4j)ms−1u(3\mathbf{i} + 4\mathbf{j})\text{ms}^{-1}u(3i+4j)ms−1, where u u\,u and k k\,k are constants. Given the greatest height reached by P P\,P is k k\,km above the ground.

a.

Find the exact value of u u\,u in terms of kkk.

[3]
b.

Find the horizontal distance travelled in terms of kkk.
