    Parametrics Word Problems: Solving for Height and Distance of a Ball in Motion

    1. x= (90cos60)t, y= 5+(90sin60)t-16t^2 x= 90(.5)t, y= 5+(90(.866))t-16t^2 For horizontal distance t=3 so, x= 90(.5)3 → x= 135ft For the height of the ball after 3 seconds, y= 5+(77.94)3-16(3)^2 → y= 94.82ft 2. x= (110cos45)t, y= 2+(110sin45)t-16t^2 To find how long the ball...

    Parametrics Word Problems: Solving for Height and Distance of a Ball in Motion

    For calculating the height after 3 seconds, I plugged in the parametric x=(90cos60)t, y=5+(90sin60)t-16t^2 and evaluated for x=3 on the graph, which gave me y= 4.02ft. In addition, when I try to evaluate the horizontal distance by plugging in t=3 I get -257.15 x=(90cos60)t...

    Parametrics Word Problems: Solving for Height and Distance of a Ball in Motion

    I don't know how exactly to find horizontal distance but these are the numbers i came up with after entering the equation in the calculator x=(90cos60)t y=5+(90sin60)t-16t^2 after 3 seconds: 4.02ft x=(110cos45)t y=2+(110sin45)t-16t^2 How long the ball will be in the air: 339.273...
