A hawk flying at 40 m/s at an altitude of 220 m accidentally drops its prey. The parabolic
trajectory of the falling prey is described parametrically by
x=40t, y=220-4.9t^2
until it hits the ground. The variable X represents the horizontal distance traveled by the prey
and the variable Y represents its height above the ground. Calculate the distance traveled by the
prey from the time it is dropped until it hits the ground. Express your answer correct to the
nearest tenth of a meter.
Solution
From a physics perspective, the prey hits the ground at y=0. Plugging that into your second
equation, 0=220-4.9t^2
t=(220/4.9)
Plug that t-value into the x=40t, and voila!
