t = 1.33 sec
Solution:
Given data:
Velocity
= 17.5 ft/s
Height
= 5 ft
The height can be modeled by a quadratic equation

where h is the height and t is the time


a = –16, b = 17.5, c = 5
It looks like a quadratic equation. we can solve it by quadratic formula,






Time cannot be in negative. So neglect t = –0.235.
t = 1.33 sec
Hence Amy have to react 1.33 sec before the volleyball hits the ground.
3- y/2 is your correct answer
Answer:
The ball will take 4.05 seconds to hit the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open down
The vertex is a maximum
we know that
The ball hit the ground when h=0
Solve the quadratic equation
For h=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to

in this problem we have
so

substitute in the formula


---> the time cannot be a negative number

therefore
The ball will take 4.05 seconds to hit the ground.
It would be: 2 / 5/8
We can re-write it as: 2 * 8/5 = 16/5
So, your final is 16/5 or 3.2
Hope this helps!
