Human Cannonball In Example 2 of Section 1.2, we found the equation of the path of the human cannonball. At a Washington County Fair in Oregon. David Smith. Jr., The Bullet, was shot from a cannon. As a human cannonball, he reached a height of 70 feet before landing in a net 160 feet from the cannon. In that example we found the equation that describes his path is
