The basketball is thrown from 25 feet above the ground at an initial velocity of 40 feet per second and at an angle of elevation of 30°. Write a set of parametric equations that model the basketball's horizontal and vertical position. 6. The basketball reaches its maximum height at t 0.625 seconds. Using your parametric equations from part 5, determine the location of the basketball at its maximum height relative to the starting point. %3Darrow_forwardA wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.46 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as the origin, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the positive x axis pointing to 3 o'clock and the positive y axis pointing to 12 o'clock. Write the vector that describes the displacement of a fly if it quickly goes from the tip of the minute hand to the tip of the hour hand at 3:00 P.M. (Let D represents the displacement of the fly.) D = 0.46 |× mî+ -0.26 Let the +y direction be straight up and the +x direction be to the right. Recall the definition of displacement, and remember that positions are vector quantities.arrow_forward
