- Problem: A person who is 1.3 m tall throws a ball with a speed of 19m/s at an angle of 17 degrees above horizontal. One part of the problem asks me to find the x and y components of the ball's velocity before it hits the ground. I have tried using the vy^2 = voy^2 + 2ah for the y-component: vy^2 = (5.56)^2 + (2)(10)(1.3) = 7.54 and my x-component is just (19)(cos(17))= 18.17 m/s, but it is saying this is not the right answer.

- A golf coach is showing her athletes how to hit a golf ball from the ground. Using her driver, she hits a golf ball with an initial velocity of 250 ft/sec at an angle of 11.5 with the ground. After the ball hits the ground, it rolls for another 63 feet. While the ball is in air, it can be modeled with the parametric equations: z(t) = v, cos (e) t, y(t) = - 16t² + sin(e) t with z(t) as the horizontal position of the ball after tseconds y(t) as the vertical position of the ball after tseconds to as the initial velocity 8 as the initial launch angle A.
