12.85 The flight path of the helicopter as it takes off from A is defined by the parametric
equations 𝑥 = 2𝑡 m and 𝑦 = 0.04𝑡 m, where t is the time in seconds. Determine the distance
the helicopter is from point A and the magnitudes of its velocity and acceleration when t=10 s.
12.87 The catapult is used to launch a ball such that it strikes the wall of the building at the
maximum height of its trajectory. If it takes 1.5 s to travel from A to B, determine the velocity va at
which it was launched, the angle of release θ, and the height h.
12.91 The ball at A is kicked with a speed 𝑣 = 80 ft/s and at an angle 𝜃 = 30° . Determine the
point (x, -y) where it strikes the ground. Assume the ground has a shape of a parabola as shown.
12.93 A golf ball is struck with a velocity of 80 ft/s as shown. Determine the distance d to
where it will land.
