Solve the problem.A baseball player hit a baseball with an initial speed of 140 feet per second at an angle of 40° to the horizontal. The ball was hit at a height of 3 feet off the ground. Find parametric equations that describe the motion of the ball as a function of time. How long is the ball in the air? When is the ball at its maximum height? What is the distance the ball traveled?
A. x = 107.24t, y = -16t2 + 90.02t + 3
5.659 sec, 2.813 sec,
1021.812 feet
B. x = 107.24t, y = -16t2 + 90.02t + 3
5.659 sec, 2.813 sec,
606.871 feet
C. x = 107.24t, y = -16t2 + 90.02t + 3
5.593 sec, 2.813 sec,
599.793 feet
D. x = 107.24t, y = -16t2 + 90.02t + 3
11.319 sec, 2.813 sec,
1213.85 feet
