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 gun is fired at an angle of 23°, and the bullet has an initial speed of 2345 feet per second. How high does the bullet go, and when does it hit the ground? Round the altitude to the nearest foot and time to the nearest tenth of a second.
A) 13,118 feet; 57.3 seconds
B) 26,236 feet; 57.3 seconds
C) 13,118 feet; 29 seconds
D) 33,573 feet; 29 seconds
