The trajectory of a projectile launched from the origin at an initial speed of v at an angle of 0 degrees to the horizontal is given by the parametric equations x = v cos(0)t 1 + v sin(0)t where g is acceleration due to gravity, typically 32 feet per second per second or 9.8 meters per second per second. Find parametric equations for the trajectory of a golf ball with an initial speed of 80 feet per second at an angle of 60° to the horizontal. Enter either exact value coefficients (in radians!!!) or correct to at least three decimal places.
