Snoopy is in his plane 4500 feet above the ground. He fires a projectile straight up. The initial velocity of the projectile is 340 feet per second. (After the projectile is fired, it has no acceleration, so its height can be modeled by a "falling body" model.) The Red Baron is maintaining a constant altitude of 5200 feet.
When, on the way up, might the projectile intersect the Red Baron? Explain how you determined this. Use the eqution y=4500+340x-16x^2
