Explanation:

When the ball reaches the target at maximum height H ,the ball will have velocity only in horizontal direction and it will be done during half of the time of flight.

Given

#u->"Velocity of projection"=14.8m/s#

#H->"Maximum heihgt"=5.30m#

Let

#theta->"Angle of projection above the horizontal"#

#T->"Time of flight"#

Now

# ucostheta->"Horizontal component of velocity"#

# usintheta->"Vertical component of velocity"#

At maximum height vertcal component becomes zero

#0=u^2sin^2theta-2*g*H#

#=>sin^2theta=(2gH)/u^2=(2*9.8*5.3)/14.8^2#
#=>sintheta=sqrt(2*9.8*5.3)/14.8#
#sintheta=0.69#
(a)#" "theta =43.5^@#

Again after T time the net vertical displacement will be zero. So

#0=usintheta*T-1/2*g*T^2#

#T=(2*u*sintheta)/g=(2*14.8*0.69)/9.8s~~2.08s#

The ball will reach the target after T/2 sec of its relrase i.e.after 1.04s.
(b)So the horizintal distance to be covered to reach the target

#=ucocossthetaxxT/2=14.8*cos43.5^@*1.04=11.16m#

(c)The speed of the ball when it reaches the target is nothing but the undiminshed horizontal component of the velocity of projection.

#=ucostheta=14.8xxcos43.5^@=10.74m/s#
