Answer:
a) 40 feet
b) 54 ft/min
c) 4 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- Kesha models the height ( h ) of the baton from the ground level but thrown from a platform of height hi.
- The function h ( t ) is modeled to follow a quadratic - parabolic path mathematically expressed as:
h ( t ) = −16t² + 54t + 40
Which gives the height of the baton from ground at time t mins.
- The initial point is of the height of the platform which is at a height of ( hi ) from the ground level.
- So the initial condition is expressed by time = 0 mins, the height of the baton h ( t ) would be:
h ( 0 ) = hi = -16*(0)^2 + 54*0 + 40
h ( 0 ) = hi = 0 + 0 + 40 = 40 feet
Answer: The height of the platform hi is 40 feet.
- The speed ( v ) during the parabolic path of the baton also varies with time t.
- The function of speed ( v ) with respect to time ( t ) can be determined by taking the derivative of displacement of baton from ground with respect to time t mins.
v ( t ) = dh / dt
v ( t )= d ( −16t² + 54t + 40 ) / dt
v ( t )= -2*(16)*t + 54
v ( t )= -32t + 54
- The velocity with which Kesha threw the baton is represented by tim t = 0 mins.
Hence,
v ( 0 ) = vi = -32*( 0 ) + 54
v ( 0 ) = vi = 54 ft / min
Answer: Kesha threw te baton with an initial speed of vo = 54 ft/min
- The baton reaches is maximum height h_max and comes down when all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy. The baton starts to come down and cross the platform height hi = 40 feet and hits the ground.
- The height of the ball at ground is zero. Hence,
h ( t ) = 0
0 = −16t² + 54t + 40
0 = -8t^2 + 27t + 20
- Use the quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation:
Answer: The time taken for the baton to hit the ground is t = 4 mins
Answer:
The correct option is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is
Where f(x) is height of the ball and x is the distance.
It is a polynomial function with degree 2. All polynomial functions are defined for all real numbers, therefore the mathematical domain of the function is all real numbers.
Factorize the given function.
Put f(x)=0 to find the x intercepts.
Equate each factor equal to 0.
Therefore at x=52 and -2, the graph of f(x) intersects x-axis. Before x=-2 and after x=52 the values of f(x) is negative. Height cannot be negative, therefore reasonable domain is lie between -2 to 52.
Distance cannot be negative, therefore the reasonable domain must be positive.
Therefore the reasonable domain is and option 4 is correct.
