One melon rolls over the edge with an initial speed vi =10.0 m/s in the horizontal direction. A cross-section of the bank has the shape of the bottom half of a parabola with its vertex at the edge of the road, and with the equation y2 " 16x, where x and y are measured in meters. What are the x and y coordinates of the melon when it splatters on the bank?
