Question

Physics students drop a ball from the top of a 100 foot high building and model its height above the ground as a function of time with the equation   2 ht   . The height, h, is measures in feet and time, t, is 100 16 t measured in seconds. Be careful with all calculations in this problems and remember to do the exponent (squaring) first.

Answer 1

Complete question :

Physics students drop a ball from the top of a 100 foot high building and model its height as a function time with the equation h(t) = 100 - 16t^2.The height, h, is measured in feet and time, t, is measured is seconds.

Find the value of h(0). Include proper units. What does this output represent?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The model given :

Height, h as a function of time :

h(t) = 100 - 16t^2

To find h(0): substitute 0 for t in the model defined ;

h(0) = 100 - 16(0)²

h(0) = 100 - 0

h(0) = 100

The output gives the height at which the ball was before it was dropped, it depicts the height when the travel time of the ball is 0
