Question 127

In this question use g=9.81 m s−2g = 9.81 \text{ m s}^{-2}g=9.81 m s−2.

A particle is projected from a point OOO with an initial speed uuu at an angle of 40∘40^\circ40∘ above the horizontal.

The particle lands at a point PPP which is 15 metres vertically below the level of OOO.

The particle takes 1.2 seconds to reach the maximum height of its trajectory.

a.
