since the horizontal speed does not change, we have the usual
x(t) = 150 cos 30° t
y(t) = 150 sin 30° t - 16 t^2
The rest is downhill from here
Suppose that Tiger hit a golf ball with an initial velocity of 150 ft/sec at an angle of elevation of 30°. Write the parametric equations to represent the flight of the ball. How long is the golf ball in the air? Determine the distance the ball traveled. When is the ball at its maximum height? What is the maximum height?
