The points \(A\) and \(B\) lie 50 m apart on horizontal ground.
At time \(t = 0\) two small balls, \(P\) and \(Q\), are projected in the vertical plane containing \(A B\).
Ball \(P\) is projected from \(A\) with speed \(20 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) at \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to \(A B\).
Ball \(Q\) is projected from \(B\) with speed \(u \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at angle \(\theta\) to \(B A\), as shown in Figure 3.
At time \(t = 2\) seconds, \(P\) and \(Q\) collide.
Until they collide, the balls are modelled as particles moving freely under gravity.
- Find the velocity of \(P\) at the instant before it collides with \(Q\).
- Find
- the size of angle \(\theta\),
- the value of \(u\).
- State one limitation of the model, other than air resistance, that could affect the accuracy of your answers.
