To calculate: The equation that represent the parabolic path.
Answer to Problem 75E
The equation that represent the parabolic path is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
From a top of 100-foot tower a ball is thrown with a velocity of 28 feet per second.
Formula used:
The path of an object is modelled as
Calculation:
Consider the provided information that from a top of 100-foot tower a ball is thrown with a velocity of 28 feet per second.
Recall that the path of an object is modelled as
Substitute v as
Thus, the equation that represent the parabolic path is
To calculate: The horizontal distance travelled by ball before it strike the ground.
Answer to Problem 75E
The horizontal distance travelled by ball before it strike the ground is

Calculation:
Consider the provided information that from a top of 100-foot tower a ball is thrown with a velocity of 28 feet per second.
Recall that the path of an object is modelled as
Substitute v as
Now, horizontal distance travelled by ball before it strike the ground is when
Thus, the horizontal distance travelled by ball before it strike the ground is
