A few seconds after a plane took off it was hit by a missile launched from a distance on the ground. The path of the plane is described by y= (0.0005 x²) m. The missile traveled along a parabolic path described by y = (160 x), where the coordinates are measured in meters. If the components of the missile velocity in the horizontal and vertical directions are constant at v; =120 m/s and v, = 100 m/s, respectively, and the plane was rising with a constant upward velocity v, = 12 m/s, determine the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of the plane the moment it was hit by the missile. y y = (0.0005 x²) y? = (160 x) X

A skateboarder riding on a level surface at a constant speed of 10 ft/s throws a ball in the air straight up. The height of which can be described by the equation h(t)=−16t2+11t+1 feet where t is the number of seconds since the ball was thrown.(The ball continues traveling horizontally at the speed of the skateboarder.)Let x be the horizontal distance traveled by the ball at time tt seconds. The parametric equations for this situation is given by:x(t)=__________h(t)=−16t2+11t+1Now eliminate the parameter, t, to write the height, h, as a function of horizontal position, x, where xx is the horizontal distance traveled since the ball was thrown.The resulting equation can be written ash(x)= _________
