A golf ball is hit upward from the ground, with an initial velocity of 66 meters per second, at an angle of 54° with respect to the horizontal. The horizontal distance x from the starting point and the height y above the ground of the ballt seconds after it is hit are given by the parametric equations below. y=-4.91 +(vo sin e)t+h Here vo is the initial velocity, 0 is the initial angle with respect to the horizontal, and h is the initial height. Use the equations to answer the following questions. (a) When does the golf ball reach its maximum height? Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. | seconds (b) What is the maximum height of the golf ball? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. meters
