Question 55

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

A particle P P\,P is projected with speed U U\,U m s−1^{-1}−1 from a point AAA, which is 20 m above horizontal ground. P P\,P is projected at an angle of 60° 60°\,60° above the horizontal. Air resistance is modelled as negligible.

The greatest height reached by P P\,P is at the point BBB, which is 16 m above AAA.

a.
