Question

PLEASE HELP! 20 POINTS 1) A ball is thrown starting at a time of 0 and a height of 2 meters. The height of the ball follows the function H(t)=−4.9t2+25t+2. What is the height of the ball at each second from 0 to 5? (I'll put a picture of the graph.) 2) Which expression could represent the height of a soccer ball as it is in the air after being kicked? (This is part 2 to question 1) A. −16t+9 B. −16t2+4t3 C. 9t2+25t D. −16t2+25t+1

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The height of the ball from 0 to 5  seconds are;

At t = 0 second, height = 2

At t = 1 second, height h = 22.1

At t = 2 seconds, height h = 32.4

At t = 3 seconds, height h = 32.9

At t = 4 seconds, height h = 23.6

At t = 5 seconds, height h = 4.5

2)  The correct option is;

D. -16·t² + 25·t + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The equation of motion of the ball is given as follows;

H(t) = -4.9·t² + 25·t + 2

The height of the ball from 0 to 5 seconds are;

H(0) = -4.9×(0)² + 25×(0) + 2 = 2

H(1) = -4.9×(1)² + 25×(1) + 2 = 22.1

H(2) = -4.9×(2)² + 25×(2) + 2 = 32.4

H(3) = -4.9×(3)² + 25×(3) + 2 = 32.9

H(4) = -4.9×(4)² + 25×(4) + 2 = 23.6

H(5) = -4.9×(5)² + 25×(5) + 2 = 4.5

Therefore, we have;

The height of the ball are

At t = 0 second, height = 2

At t = 1 second, height h = 22.1

At t = 2 seconds, height h = 32.4

At t = 3 seconds, height h = 32.9

At t = 4 seconds, height h = 23.6

At t = 5 seconds, height h = 4.5

2) Given that the equation of the ball is that of a projectile motion, such as follows;

h = h₀ + v₀·sin(θ₀)·t - 1/2·g·t² which is equivalent to h = -1/2·g·t²+ h₀+v₀·sin(θ₀)·t

it is best represented by the quadratic equation of an upside down parabola which is option D. -16·t² + 25·t + 1
