Parabolic trajectory Consider the parabolic trajectory
where V0 is the initial speed, α is the angle of launch, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Consider all times [0, T] for which y ≥ 0.
- a. Find and graph the speed, for 0 ≤ t ≤ T.
- b. Find and graph the curvature, for 0 ≤ t ≤ T.
- c. At what times (if any) do the speed and curvature have maximum and minimum values?
