Question
A golf ball has been hit off of the
tee at an angle of elevation of 30
degrees and an initial velocity of
128 ft/sec.
Using the helpful parametric
models for projectile motion
answer the following questions.
x (t) = vo cos(0)t
y (t) = hovo sin(0)t - 16t²
a.) How long is the ball in the air
(hang time)?
b.) What is the maximum height
of the ball?
c.) How far, horizontally, does
the ball travel in the air? (round
to the nearest foot)
