Parametric equations — Homework

Set up x(t) and y(t) fully, and find time of flight before range or maximum height.

  1. 1.Eliminate the parameter for x=3t-2, y=t^2+1.
  2. 2.A projectile launches at v0=48 ft/sec and theta=30 degrees. Write x(t) and y(t).
  3. 3.Using the previous problem, find the time of flight.
  4. 4.Using the same projectile, find the range and the maximum height.
  5. 5.Explain what information a parametric description of motion preserves that its eliminated (rectangular) equation loses.
