Representation of data — practice question

A small ball $B$ is fired from a point on horizontal ground with speed $38\,\text{m s}^{-1}$ at an angle of $30^\circ$ above the horizontal.
(main)[3]

Determine the speed of $B$ when its path is inclined at an angle of $20^\circ$ above the horizontal.

Worked solution & mark scheme

This 3-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: Set the initial horizontal velocity equal to the final horizontal velocity, for example $v\cos20^\circ = 38\cos30^\circ$.
