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

uVelocity of projection=14.8ms

HMaximum heihgt=5.30m

Let

θAngle of projection above the horizontal

TTime of flight

Now

ucosθHorizontal component of velocity

usinθVertical component of velocity

At maximum height vertcal component becomes zero

0=u2sin2θ2gH

sin2θ=2gHu2=29.85.314.82
sinθ=29.85.314.8
sinθ=0.69
(a) θ=43.5

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

0=usinθT12gT2

T=2usinθg=214.80.699.8s2.08s

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

=ucocossθ×T2=14.8cos43.51.04=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.

=ucosθ=14.8×cos43.5=10.74ms
