7 A ball is projected horizontally with speed \(\mathrm { V } \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) at a height of 5 metres above horizontal ground. When the ball has travelled a horizontal distance of 15 metres, it hits the ground.

- Show that the time it takes for the ball to travel to the point where it hits the ground is 1.01 seconds, correct to three significant figures.
- Find \(V\).
- Find the speed of the ball when it hits the ground.
- Find the angle between the velocity of the ball and the horizontal when the ball hits the ground. Give your answer to the nearest degree.
- State two assumptions that you have made about the ball while it is moving.
