- Shooting into the Wind Suppose that a projectile is fired into a headwind that pushes it back so as to reduce its horizontal speed by a constant amount . Find parametric equations for the path of the projectile.arrow_forwardHuman Cannonball Graph the parametric equations in Example 5 and then find the maximum height of the cannonball, the maximum distance traveled horizontally, and the time at which the cannonball hits the net. (Assume the barrel of the cannon and the net are the same distance above the ground.)arrow_forward
