19 In this question use \(g = 9.8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\) A toy shoots balls upwards with an initial velocity of \(7 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\)
The advertisement for this toy claims the balls can reach a maximum height of 2.5 metres from the ground. 19
  1. Suppose that the toy shoots the balls vertically upwards.
    19
    1. Verify the claim in the advertisement.
      19
  2. (ii) State two modelling assumptions you have made in verifying this claim.
    19
  3. In fact the toy shoots the balls anywhere between 0 and 11 degrees from the vertical. The range of maximum heights, \(h\) metres, above the ground which can be reached by the balls may be expressed as $$k < h \leq 2.5$$ Find the value of \(k\)
