Answer:
Please refer to the attached graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Initial velocity of rocket = 64 and is launched vertically.
To find:
Quadratic equation in time to represent the height of rocket in feet.
Solution:
Unit of initial velocity is not given in the question statement, let the velocity be in feet/second only.
Initial velocity, u = 64 feet/s
The acceleration will be = -g because it is going opposite to gravitational force so it will be negative acceleration motion (speed will be decreasing) so -g will be the acceleration.
Formula for distance traveled is given as:
Here Let us represent s by 'h'
a = -g = 9.8 m/
Let us put the known values in the formula:
It is a quadratic equation, the equation represents the graph of a parabola.
Please refer to the attached graph.
Value of height is 0 at 0 second and ~13 seconds
