3. During a cricket match, the batsman hits the ball and begins running with constant velocity \(4 \mathbf { i } \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) to try and score a run. When the batsman is at the fixed origin \(O\), the ball is thrown by a member of the opposing team with velocity \(\left( { } ^ { - } 8 \mathbf { i } + 24 \mathbf { j } \right) \mathrm { ms } ^ { - 1 }\) from the point with position vector \(( 30 \mathbf { i } - 60 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m }\), where \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are horizontal perpendicular unit vectors. At time \(t\) seconds after the ball is thrown, the position vectors of the batsman and the ball are \(\mathbf { r }\) metres and s metres respectively.
In a model of the situation, the ball is assumed to travel horizontally and air resistance is considered to be negligible.
- Find expressions for \(\mathbf { r }\) and \(\mathbf { s }\) in terms of \(t\).
- Show that the ball hits the batsman and find the position vector of the batsman when this occurs.
- Write down two reasons why the assumptions used in these calculations are unlikely to provide a realistic model.
