Question:

The trajectory of a ball can be computed with

image

Where y = the height (m), ?0 = the initial angle (radians), ?0 = the initial velocity (m/s), g = the gravitational constant = 9.81 m/s2, and y0 = the initial height (m). Use the golden-section search to determine the maximum height given y0 = 1 m, ?0 = 25 m/s and ?0 = 50o. Iterate until the approximate error falls below ?s = 1% using initial guesses of xl = 0 and xu = 60 m.
