A boy stands 5 m from a house and throws a ball towards an open window, the sill of which is 6 m above the point of projection. He projects the ball with speed \(13\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) to the horizontal in a plane at right angles to the window.
(a) Using the equation of the path of a projectile, or otherwise, find at what distance below the sill the ball strikes the wall.
(b) If the ball had been projected by the boy at \(14\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) from the same position, find correct to one decimal place, the two possible angles of projection for the ball to just clear the sill.
(c) State two assumptions that are made in the modelling of the particle motion of the ball
