Pirates are attacking the coastal town of Townberg. The pirates have

a cannon on their ship which can fire a cannonball at 440 meters per

second.

(a) Suppose the pirates fix the cannon at an angle of π/4. Write a function h(t) which gives the height (in meters) at t seconds for the cannonball (assume that the cannonball has initial height 5 meters) and a function d(t) which gives the horizontal distance of the cannonball (in meters) at t seconds.

(b) How far from Townberg does the pirate ship have to be so that

the cannonball can hit the town (assume Townberg has a height

of 0 meters)?

What is the cannonball’s horizontal speed as it hits the ground?

What is the cannonballs total speed as it hits the ground?

Another species of salamander, called a newt, exists along the coastal range of California. Newts have a terrestrial stage called an eft that has rough skin like the toads that you may be familiar with. When they are ready to breed they return to water where they sprout gills and breed. While on land the efts are quite vulnerable to predators, and have developed toxins for protection (toads secrete toxins too through their paratoid glands). Note that efts are bright...
