1 A small firework is fired from a point O at ground level over horizontal ground. The highest point reached by the firework is a horizontal distance of 60 m from O and a vertical distance of 40 m from O , as shown in Fig. 7. Air resistance is negligible.

The initial horizontal component of the velocity of the firework is $21 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }$.
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
\item Calculate the time for the firework to reach its highest point and show that the initial vertical component of its velocity is $28 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }$.
\item Show that the firework is $\left( 28 t - 4.9 t ^ { 2 } \right) \mathrm { m }$ above the ground $t$ seconds after its projection.

When the firework is at its highest point it explodes into several parts. Two of the parts initially continue to travel horizontally in the original direction, one with the original horizontal speed of $21 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }$ and the other with a quarter of this speed.
\item State why the two parts are always at the same height as one another above the ground and hence find an expression in terms of $t$ for the distance between the parts $t$ seconds after the explosion.
\item Find the distance between these parts of the firework\\
(A) when they reach the ground,\\
(B) when they are 10 m above the ground.
\item Show that the cartesian equation of the trajectory of the firework before it explodes is $y = \frac { 1 } { 90 } \left( 120 x - x ^ { 2 } \right)$, referred to the coordinate axes shown in Fig. 7.
