Question

A bowling ball is dropped from a height of 35 feet. Write a function that gives the height h (in feet) of the bowling ball after t seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:

h(t) = 16t² + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height (h) = 35 feet

Acceleration (a) = 32 ft/sec (approx)

Find:

Equation for height in time

Computation:

h(t) = -(1/2)at² + ut + h

h(t) = -(1/2)(32)t² + (0)(t) + 35

h(t) = -16t² + 35
