- Human 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_forwardPath of a Baseball Suppose a baseball is thrown at 30ft/s at a 60 angle to the horizontal from a height of 4 ft above the ground. a Find parametric equations for the path of the baseball, and sketch its graph. b How far does the baseball travel, and when does it hit the ground?arrow_forwardA semielliptical arch over a tunnel for a one-way road through a mountain has a major axis of 50 feet and a height at the center of 10 feet. (a) Sketch the arch of the tunnel on a rectangular coordinate system with the center of the road entering the tunnel at the origin. Label the coordinates of the known points. (b) Find an equation of the semielliptical arch over the tunnel. (c) You are driving a moving truck that has a width of 8 feet and a height of 9 feet. Will the moving truck clear the opening of the arch?arrow_forward
