Davis hit a baseball from a height of 3 feet above the ground at an angle of 24 degrees with the horizontal at an initial velocity of 110 feet per second. How far will the ball travel before it hits the ground? 8. Write a parametric equation for the flight of the ball.

9. Find the maximum height of the ball.

10. How many feet did the ball travel horizontally before it hit the ground?

The ball travel horizontally before it hit the ground is 34.22 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height = 3 feet

Angle = 24 °

Initial velocity = 110 feet/s

We need to write a parametric equation for the flight of the ball

Using given data

Put the value into the formula

Now, on differentiating w.r.to t

....(I)

We need to calculate the time

Using equation (I)

If y'(t)=0, then the ball will be at maximum height

So,

Put the value of y'(t)

We need to calculate the maximum height

Using equation of motion

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The ball travel horizontally before it hit the ground is 34.22 feet.
