(i) State the initial velocity of the ball. [1] The depth of the ball from the surface of the liquid at time t seconds is s metres. The ball is initially on the surface of the liquid. (ii) Find an expression for the depth of the ball in terms of t. [4] (iii) Show that the ball is accelerating throughout its motion. [3] (iv) Deduce the speed of the ball for large values of t. [1] When t is large, /3e t− 0 so v 8(1 – 0) = 8. For large values of t, the ball moves at an almost constant speed of 8 m/s. When t = 0, v = 08(1 e )− = 0 m/s, the initial velocity of the ball Displacement, s = dvt = ( )/38d1e t t−− = /3e88 1/ 3 t tC −−+ − = /38 24e ttC −++ When t = 0,
