Question 8
[Maximum mark: 18]
A cannonball is fired from the top of a tower. The rate of change of the height, , of the cannonball above the ground is modelled by
where is in metres and is the time, in seconds, since the moment the cannonball was fired.
- Determine the time at which the cannonball reached its maximum height. [2]
After one second, the cannonball is 26 metres above the ground.
-
-
Find an expression for , the height of the cannonball above the ground at time .
-
Hence, determine the maximum height reached by the cannonball. [5]
-
-
Write down the height of the tower. [1]
-
Calculate the height of the cannonball seconds after it was fired. [2]
The cannonball hits its target on the ground seconds after it was fired.
-
Find the value of . [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.
- 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]
