Multiple Choice
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 missile is fired from a ship at an angle of 31°, an initial height of 13 feet above the water's surface, and at a speed of 5500 feet per second. How long will it be before the missile hits the water? Round to one decimal place.
A) 177.0 seconds
B) 354.1 seconds
