A skydiver free falls from a plane 200 feet above the ground. Which of the following equations could represent the height of the

skydiver as a function of time?
1. h(t) = -16t2 + 200t

2. h(t) = t2 + 199

3. h(t) = -16(t - 3) + 200

4. h(t) = -16t2 + 200

Answer:

Katie,

Once the skydiver reaches terminal velocity, then he will be falling with constant speed. The distance he falls in time t will then be d = (160 ft/s)·t. And his altitude above the ground (height h) will be his altitude when the parachute opened minus the distance he has fallen so we can write:

h = (3200 ft) - (160 ft/s)·t

As a point of interest, the time it will take him to fall all the way to the ground is t = (3200 ft)/(160 ft/s) = 20 s

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

y = (7/3)x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert given equation to y=mx+b form --> y = (7/3)x - 5/3

2. Equation of new line --> y = (7/3)x + b

  • Note: 7/3 is the slope and for lines to be parallel they need the same slope so both equations have 7/3.

3. Plug in given values --> 5 = (7/3)(6) + b

4. Solve for b --> b = 5 - 14    b = -9

5. New line --> y = (7/3)x - 9
