Question
A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 106 feet and explode at an apex of 153 feet under
normal weather conditions. The shells have a launch angle = 51° above the horizontal. If a strong wind induces a constant rightward
acceleration of 16 ft/sec² for the fireworks shells, determine the horizontal shift Ax of the crossing point of the shells.
