A golf ball travels a distance of 600 feet as measured along the ground and reaches an altitude of 200 feet. If the origin repre

sents the tee and the ball travels along a parabolic path that opens downward, find an equation for the path of the golf ball.

Y = y0 + V0y * t + gt^2 / 2

y0 = 0

g  ≈ - 32 ft / s^2

(1) y =  V0y * t - 16t^2

(2) x = V0x * t 

Use (1) and the maximum heigth formula to determine V0y

y max = (V0y)^2 / (2g) = 200 => (V0y)^2 = 2*32*200 = 12,800 => V0y ≈ 113.14 ft/s

y = 113.14 t - 16t^2    

for y = 200 => 200 = 113t - 16t^2 => -16t^2 + 113.14t - 200 = 0

Solve that equation using the quadratic formula and you will ge t = 3.54 s

The total time is 3.54 s * 2 = 7.08 s

Then use that time in (2) to find V0x

600 = V0x * t => V0x = 600 / 7.08 s = V0x = 84.7 ft/s

Then, x = 84.7 t.
Now solve for t and replace it in  y = 113.14 t - 16t^2 :

t = x / 84.7

y = 113.14 (x/84.7) - 16(x^2 / 84.7 ^2) =  1.336 x - 0.00223x^2

You can check that for, except for a small difference due to the approximations, for x = 600, y = 0 and for x =300 y = 200

Answer: y = 1.336 x - 0.00223x^2

Answer:

y=1.32x-0.0022x^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the standard equation of parabola be y=ax^{2}+bx+c ....... (1)

Let y be the altitude of the ball and x be the distance traveled by the ball.

Now by putting the points one by one, we get the required equation.

first point = (0,0)

golf ball travels a distance of 600 feet  along the ground. Therefore point = (600,0)

At altitude of 200, it travels the distance of 300 feet(mid point) = (300,200)

By putting y=0 and x=0 in (1),

we get c=0,

By putting y=0 and x=600 we get

0 = 360000a+600b ..............(2)

By putting y=200 and x=300, we get

200=90000a+300b ................(3)

Solving (2) and(3) we get, a=-0.0022 and b = 1.32

So the required equation is :

y= =0.0022x^{2}+1.32x

The data in the table represent the height of an object over
Arada [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is quadratic, because the height increases and then decreases.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following data in the table which represents the height of an object over  time:

Time (s)          Height (ft)

     0                      5

      1                     50

     2                     70

     3                     48

We know that in situation where the values increase and then decreases, a quadratic model is used.

From the values given in the table, we can see that the values of height first increased and then decreased with the increase in time.

Therefore, the model used is quadratic, because the height increases and then decreases.
