SOUND LOCATION You and a friend live 4 miles apart (on the same "east-west" street) and are talking on the phone. You hear a clap of thunder from lightning in a storm, and 18 seconds later your friend hears the thunder. Find an equation that gives the possible places where the lightning could have occurred. (Assume that the coordinate system is measured in feet and that sound travels at 1100 feet per second.)

Problem 61
PROJECTILE MOTION 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 \(x= (v_0 \cos\ \theta)t \quad \textrm{and} \quad y=h+(v_0 \sin\ \theta)t - 16t^2.\) In Exercises 61 and 62, use a graphing utility to graph the paths of a projectile launched from ground level at each value of \(\theta\) and \(v_0\). For each case, use the graph to approximate the maximum height and the range of the projectile. (a) \(\theta = 60^{\circ}, \quad v_0 = 88\) feet per second (b) \(\theta = 60^{\circ}, \quad v_0 = 132\) feet per second (c) \(\theta = 45^{\circ}, \quad v_0 = 88\) feet per second (d) \(\theta = 45^{\circ}, \quad v_0 = 132\) feet per second
Problem 65
SATELLITE TRACKING A satellite in a 100-mile-high circular orbit around Earth has a velocity of approximately \(17,500\) miles per hour. If this velocity is multiplied by \(\sqrt{2}\), the satellite will have the minimum velocity necessary to escape Earth's gravity and will follow a parabolic path with the center of Earth as the focus (see figure). (a) Find a polar equation of the parabolic path of the satellite (assume the radius of Earth is \(4000\) miles). (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the equation you found in part (a). (c) Find the distance between the surface of the Earth and the satellite when \(\theta\ =\ 30^{\circ}\). (d) Find the distance between the surface of Earth and the satellite when \(\theta\ =\ 60^{\circ}\).
