4. At time \(t = 0\) a ball is projected from a fixed point \(A\) on horizontal ground to hit a target. The ball is projected from \(A\) with speed \(u \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle \(\theta ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. At time \(t = 2 \mathrm {~s}\) the ball hits the target. At the instant when it hits the target, the ball is travelling downwards at \(30 ^ { \circ }\) below the horizontal with speed \(12 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The ball is modelled as a particle moving freely under gravity and the target is modelled as the point \(T\).
- Find
- the value of \(\theta\),
- the value of \(u\).
The height of \(T\) above the ground is \(h\) metres.
- Find the value of \(h\).
- Find the length of time for which the ball is more than \(h\) metres above the ground during the flight from \(A\) to \(T\).
