9231 P33 - Jun 2020 - Q6 - 10 marks
7015

A particle \(P\) is projected with speed \(u\) at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal from a point \(O\) on a horizontal plane and moves freely under gravity. The direction of motion of \(P\) makes an angle \(\alpha\) above the horizontal when \(P\) first reaches three-quarters of its greatest height.
(a) Show that \(\tan \alpha=\frac{1}{2} \tan \theta\).
(b) Given that \(\tan \theta=\frac{4}{3}\), find the horizontal distance travelled by \(P\) when it first reaches three-quarters of its greatest height. Give your answer in terms of \(u\) and \(g\).
