Andre hit a golf ball from the ground and its movement follows the equation hbracket(t)=-16sup(t,2)+44t, where t is the time in
seconds, and hbracket(t) is the height of the ball at a given time t. Find the time that it took the golf ball to hit the ground again correct to two decimal places.
Answer: the golf ball with hit the ground again after 2.75 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The movement of the golf ball from the ground follows the equation h(t)=-16t^2+44t,
where t is the time in seconds, and h(t) is the height of the ball at a given time t
By the time the golf ball hit the ground, the height from the ground would be zero. This means that we would equate the quadratic equation to zero. It becomes
The year 2020 is a leap year, which means February will have 29 days rather than 28, and the overall number of days will be 366 rather than 365. This was also the case in 2016, and the year 2024 will be a leap year once more.
