In a pumpkin tossing contest in Morton, Illinois, a contestant won the catapult competition by using two telephone poles, huge rubber bands, and a power winch. Suppose the pumpkin was launched with an initial speed of 125 feet per second, at an angle of 45°, and from an initial height of 25 feet. Not drawn to scale 45° 25 ft Write a set of parametric equations for the motion of the pumpkin. a. b. Use the equations to find how far the pumpkin traveled. Show all your work.
