Question

Sloane kicked a soccer ball off the ground at a speed of 56 feet per second. the height of the ball can be represented by the function h(t) = −16t2 56t, where t is the time in seconds. how many seconds did the ball travel before returning the ground? t = 56 seconds t = 16 seconds t = 3.5 seconds t = 0.29 seconds

Answer 1

The time in seconds that it took the ball to travel would be = 0.25 seconds.

Calculation of speed time

Speed can be defined as the distance covered by an object per unit time.

The speed used to kick the soccer off the ground = 56 feet per second.

The height equation= −16t² + 56t

The time= ?

The formula for speed = distance/time

56= −16t² + 56t/t

56t = −16t² + 56t/t

−16t² = -56t + 56t

−16t² = 0

Make t the subject formula,

t = √1/16

t = 0.25 seconds.
