Suppose the two balls are now thrown upward at a 60° angle on Mars and the moon. If their initial velocity is 60 mph, then their paths in feet can be modeled by the following equation.

(a) Graph on the same coordinate axes the paths of the balls if g = 5.2 for the moon. Use the window 30, 15004 by 30, 10004.

(b) Determine the maximum height of each ball to the nearest foot.

Exercise 56.

(a) For Earth g = 32.2, while for Mars g = 12.6. Find the two equations, and graph on the same screen of a graphing calculator the paths of the two balls thrown on Earth and Mars. Use the window 30, 1804 by 30, 1004.

(b) Determine the difference in the horizontal distances traveled by the two balls to the nearest foot.
