A ball is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of \( 12 \text{ m s}^{-1} \) at an angle of \( 30^{\circ} \) above the horizontal. If the ball hits the ground \( 3.5 \text{ s} \) after it was thrown, determine the height of the building.
(Take \( g = 9.81 \text{ m s}^{-2} \) and ignore air resistance.)

The diagram shows a projectile launched from horizontal ground with an initial velocity of \( 22 \text{ m s}^{-1} \) at an angle of \( 40^{\circ} \) to the horizontal. Air resistance is negligible.

(a) Calculate the time taken for the projectile to reach its maximum height.
(b) Calculate the maximum height reached by the projectile above the ground.
(c) Calculate the horizontal distance (range) travelled by the projectile when it returns to the ground level.

A small motor is used to lift a load of mass 0.50 kg through a vertical height of 2.0 m. The motor is connected to a 12 V power supply and draws a constant current of 1.5 A. The time taken for the lift is 6.5 s.

(a) Calculate the useful work done by the motor in lifting the load.
(b) Calculate the total electrical energy input to the motor during this time.
(c) Determine the efficiency of the motor system.
(d) After reaching the height of 2.0 m, the load is released from rest. Calculate its velocity just before it hits the ground, assuming air resistance is negligible.
