Question

PLEASE PLEASE HELP AND I NEED YOU TO DO IT FAST BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO SOON

Answer 1

The height is modelled by the equation:

$h(t)=-0.2t^2+2t$

Therefore

$\begin{gathered} \text{ } \\ \frac{\text{ dh}}{\text{ dt}}=-0.4t+2 \end{gathered}$

At the maximum height dh/dt = 0:

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} -0.4t+2=0 \\ -0.4t=-2 \\ \text{ Dividing both sides by -0.4} \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \frac{-0.4t}{-0.4}=\frac{-2}{-0.4} \\ t=5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the ball gets to the maximum height after 5s.

The maximum height is given by h(5):

$h(5)=-0.2(5)^2+2(5)=5$

Therefore, the maximum height is 5 ft.

When the ball reaches the ground h(t) = 0:

$\begin{gathered} -0.2t^2+2t=0 \\ \text{ Dividing both sides by -0.2, we have:} \\ t^2-10t=0 \\ Factorising\text{ the left hand side, we have} \\ t(t-10)=0 \\ \text{ Therefore,} \\ t=0,\text{ t=10} \end{gathered}$

The ball reaches the ground in 10s
