Basic MathA ball is thrown upward, with an initial velocity of 30 meters per second, at an angle of 61° with respect to the horizontal. The ball is thrown from a height of 6
meters off the ground.
The horizontal distance x from the starting point and the height y above the ground of the ball / seconds after it is thrown are given by the parametric equations
below.
x=(vocosθ) t
y=-4.9t² + (vosinθ)t + h
