A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 103 feet and explode at an apex of 152 feet under normal weather conditions. The shells have a launch angle = 50° above the horizontal. If a strong wind induces a constant rightward acceleration of 16 ft/sec² for the fireworks shells, determine the horizontal shift Ax of the crossing point of the shells. 49' * 103' Vo Α/Θ A d Vo e B
