The image you selected to reach this worksheet was of the Magic Fountain of Montjuic in Barcelona, Spain.

Imagine you are a fountain designer and you need to know how different speed motors will affect the water’s projected height and time in the air. You have various motor speed options but need to choose the one that most closely meets the client’s height request of 690 feet. Your job is to determine which motor speed is the best choice. In all cases, you will use the projectile formula
y = –16x2 + vx + s, with starting height of 0 (s =0)
