Question: A golf ball, resting on a tee on the ground, is struck by a famous golfer, giving it an initial velocity vec ( v )

A golf ball, resting on a "tee" on the ground, is struck by a famous golfer, giving it an initial velocity
vec(v)0=v0,xhat(i)+v0,yhat(j)
=(17.2ms)hat(i)+(16.7ms)hat(j)
Assume that the ball moves without air resistance. Describe its motion using a Cartesian coordinate system with its origin located at the ball's initial position.
Part (a)
Determine the maximum height above the ground, hmax, in meters, attained by the golf ball.
hmax=
m
Part (b)
Express the total horizontal distance, xmax, the ball travels until it returns to ground level in terms of v0,x,v0,y, and g.
Part (c)
Evaluate the total horizontal distance, xmax, in meters, the ball travels until it returns to ground level.
A golf ball, resting on a "tee" on the ground, is
