A Projectile Is Launched at a Height of H Feet $\theta$

question 142

Multiple Choice

A projectile is launched at a height of h feet above the ground at an angle of $\theta$ with the horizontal.The initial velocity is $v _ { 0 }$ feet per second, and the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations $x = \left( v _ { 0 } \cos \theta \right) t \text { and } y = h + \left( v _ { 0 } \sin \theta \right) t - 16 t ^ { 2 }$ . Select the correct graph of the path of a projectile launched from ground level at the value of $\theta$ and $v _ { 0 }$ .
$\theta = 45 ^ { \circ } , v _ { 0 } = 114$ feet per second
