TopicProjectiles

6 A particle is projected with speed \(60 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) from a point on horizontal ground. The angle of projection is \(\alpha ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal. The particle reaches the ground again after 10 s .
  1. Find the value of \(\alpha\).
  2. Find the greatest height reached by the particle.
  3. At time \(T\) s after the instant of projection the direction of motion of the particle is at an angle of \(45 ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal. Find the value of \(T\).
