Recall that the flight of a projectile can be modeled with the parametric equations: ,
where t is in seconds, vo is the initial velocity, is the angle with the horizontal, and x and y are in feet.
A baseball is hit at an initial speed of 110 mph and angle of 24° at a height of 5 feet above the ground. If there's no back fence or other obstruction, how far does the baseball travel (horizontal distance) , and what is the maximum height? Round to one decimal place.
A) 615.5 feet; 72.3 feet
B) 604.5 feet; 72.3 feet
C) 615.5 feet; 67.3 feet
D) 604.5 feet; 165.4 feet
