Projectile Motion In Exercises 75 and 76, consider the path of an object projected horizontally with a velocity of v feet per second at a height of s feet, where the model for the path is x2=v216ys. In this model (in which air resistance is disregarded), y is the height (in feet) of the projectile and x is the horizontal distance (in feet) the projectile travels. A ball is thrown from the top of a 100-foot tower with a velocity of 28 feet per second. (a) Write an equation for the parabolic path. (b) How far does the ball travel horizontally before it strikes the ground?
