Point O is 70 m vertically above the point N. Point N is on horizontal ground. The stone is projected at an angle α above the horizontal, where tan α = 5 12 The stone hits the ground at the point A, as shown in Figure 3. The stone is modelled as a particle moving freely under gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is modelled as having magnitude 10 m s−2 Using the model, (a) find the time taken for the stone to travel from O to A, (4) (b) find the speed of the stone at the instant just before it hits the ground at A. (5) One limitation of the model is that it ignores air resistance. (c) State one other limitation of the model that could affect the reliability of your answers.
