If a projectile is fired with an initial 37. Path of a Projectile speed of t, ft/s at an angle a above the horizontal, then its position after t seconds is given by the parametric equations x = (th cos a)t y = (t, sin a)t – 16r? (where x and y are measured in feet). Show that the path of the projectile is a parabola by eliminating the parameter 1.
