Probability — practice question

A small ball $B$ is launched from point $O$ at a speed of $14\,\text{m s}^{-1}$ and at an angle of $60^\circ$ above the horizontal.
(i)[5]

Calculate the speed and direction of motion of $B$ at $1.8\,\text{s}$ after projection.

(ii)[3]

Point $O$ is $2\,\text{m}$ above a horizontal plane. Calculate the time after projection at which $B$ reaches the plane.
