A major league baseball pitcher throws a pitch that follows these parametric equations:
x(t) = 146t
y(t)=-16t² + 6 + 5.
The time units are seconds and the distance units are feet. The distance between the location of the pitcher and homeplate (where the batter stands) is 60.5 feet. Give EXACT answers, unless instructed otherwise.
(a) Calculate the horizontal velocity of the baseball at time t; this is the function x'(t)= | 146
(b) What is the horizontal velocity of the baseball when it passes over homeplate? 146
(c) What is the vertical velocity of the baseball at time t; this is the function y'(t)=-32t+6
(d) Recall that the speed of the baseball at time t is
s(t)=√ [x '(t)]² + [y' (t)]² ft/sec.
What is the speed of the baseball (in mph) when it passes over homeplate?
(e) At what time does the baseball hit the ground, assuming the batter and catcher miss the ball?
(f) What is the magnitude of the angle at which the baseball hits the ground?
mph.

Two objects E and F are traveling by the following parametrically defined functions
x = 2t - 4 x = 2ty = t - 1 y = t + 1
a. If the paths of the objects E and F intersect at (6,4), at what time do they intersect if the parameter t stands for time?
b. Write an equation d(t) that represents the distance between the two objects E and F at any point in time. Graph d(t).
c. What do you notice about the graph of d(t)? What does this tell us about the objects E and F?
