A student throws a water balloon at an initial angle θ = 23° above the horizontal with an initial speed v0 from a height h = 1.52 m. The target is located on the ground at a horizontal distance d = 7.5 m from the student’s feet. Assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position.
Create an expression for the balloon’s vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ.
