Question

The function h(t) = 300 – 16t represents the height of a ball (in feet) dropped from 300 feet after t seconds. What will be the height of the ball after 2.4 seconds?

Answer 1

We are given the function expressed as:

h(t) = 300 – 16t

where h is the height of the ball in time t.

We calculate the height at time equal to 2.4 seconds as follows:

h(t) = 300 – 16(2.4)
h(t) = 261.6 ft

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
