[Maximum mark: 18]

A cannonball is fired from the top of a tower. The rate of change of the height, hh, of the cannonball above the ground is modelled by

h(t)=4t+20,t0,\begin{aligned} h'(t) = -4t + 20, \hspace{0.5em} t \geq 0,\end{aligned}

where hh is in metres and tt is the time, in seconds, since the moment the cannonball was fired.

  1. Determine the time tt at which the cannonball reached its maximum height. [2]

After one second, the cannonball is 26 metres above the ground.

    1. Find an expression for h(t)h(t), the height of the cannonball above the ground at time tt.

    2. Hence, determine the maximum height reached by the cannonball. [5]

  1. Write down the height of the tower. [1]

  2. Calculate the height of the cannonball 44 seconds after it was fired. [2]

The cannonball hits its target on the ground nn seconds after it was fired.

  1. Find the value of nn. [2]

  2. Determine the total time the cannonball was above the height of the tower.[3]

A second cannonball is fired from exactly halfway up the tower, with the same projectile motion as the first cannonball.

  1. Given that both cannonballs land at the same time, determine the length of time between the first cannonball and the second cannonball being fired. [3]

Question 9

[Maximum mark: 15]

A physicist is studying the motion of two separate particles moving in a straight line. She measures the displacement of each particle from a fixed origin over the course of 10 seconds.

The physicist found that the displacement of particle AA, sAs_A cm, at time tt seconds can be modelled by the function sA(t)=7t+9s_A(t)=7t+9, where 0t100 \leq t \leq 10.

The physicist found that the displacement of particle BB, sBs_B cm, at time tt seconds can be modelled by the function sB(t)=cos(3t+5)+8t+4s_B(t)=\mathrm{cos}(3t+5)+8t+4.

  1. Use the physicist's models to find the initial displacement of

    1. Particle AA;

    2. Particle BB correct to three significant figures. [3]

  2. Find the values of tt when sA(t)=sB(t)s_A(t)=s_B(t). [3]

  3. For t>6t>6, prove that particle BB was always further away from the fixed origin than particle AA. [3]

  4. For 0t100 \leq t \leq 10, find the total amount of time that the velocity of particle AA was greater than the velocity of particle BB. [6]
