Answer:
s(t) = -4.9t² + 39.2t
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the projectile motion of an object can be modeled using s(t) = gt2 + v0t + s0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is the time in seconds since launch, s(t) is the height after t seconds, v0 is the initial velocity, and s0 is the initial height. The acceleration due to gravity is –4.9 m/s²
Given
g = -4.9m/s²
v0 = 39.2m/s
s0 = 0m (the initial height)
On substituting into the formula;
s(t) = gt² + v0t + s0
s(t) = -4.9t² + 39.2t + 0
s(t) = -4.9t² + 39.2t
This gives the equation that models the height
If I understood correctly and didn't make any mistakes...
If you have a quadratic equation in the form ax^2+bx+c
Step 1) Determine the product of AC (the coefficients in a quadratic equation)
Step 2) Determine what factors of a⋅ca⋅c sum to bb
Step 3) "ungroup" the middle term to become the sum of the factors found in step 2
Step 4) group the pairs.
