Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Initial height = 3 feet
The baseball hits the ground after 2 seconds
t = 2 seconds
So, final velocity = v = 0
a. What was the initial velocity of the baseball?
Initial velocity is given by
b. What is the function that models the height, ℎ (in feet), of the baseball over a period of time tt (in seconds)?
As we know that the function of height would be
Here, is the initial height.
So, our function becomes,
c. At what time did the baseball reach its maximum height? What was the maximum height of the baseball?
Maximum height at time t:
Maximum height would be
