Question

Jon is hitting baseballs. He tosses the ball 5 ft high in front of him and then hits the ball. The ball leaves the bat with an initial velocity of 50 ft/sec.

a. How high is the ball 3 seconds after it has been hit?
b. How long does an outfielder have to react until the ball hits the ground?
c. What is the maximum height of the baseball?
d. During what interval is the ball below 26 feet high?

Answer 1

A. I guess it's 11

Explanation -> (-16)t² + vt + s

(-16)(3²) + 150(3) + 5 = -144+150+5 = 11

B. 3.22 secs ..first write the equation, then find the x intercepts and select the positive x-int ( which is 3.22)

C. 44.063 ft (this is the y-value of the vertex). Enter the equation and select the y value of the vertex
