A baseball is hit when is 3ft above a ground. it leaves that bat with initial of 104ft/sec, making an angle 18 degree with the horizontal.

Assume there is linear drag with a drag coefficient k=.22 the acceleration due to gravity is g=32ft/sec^2 answer the questions as following

a) How would you find a vector form for the path of the baseball using the equation x =v/k (1-e^-kt) cos alpha
y= y+ V/k (1-e^-kt)(sin alpha) + g/k^2(1-e^-kt)
