Question

Graham and hunter are circus performers. a cable lifts graham into the air at a constant speed of 1.5 ft/s. when graham’s arms are 18 ft above the ground, hunter, who is standing directly underneath graham, throws graham a ball as the cable continues to lift him higher. hunter throws the ball from a position 5 ft above the ground with an initial velocity of 24 ft/s. which system of equations can be used to model this situation?

Answer 1

A) on Edge

Step-by-step explanation:

Took the test

Answer 2

The equations are :

h = 18 + 1.5t

h = 5 + 24t - 16t^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance/time

1.5ft/s = 18ft/t

1.5t=18

The equation to determine height h= 18 + 1.5t

Graham moved another 5ft further with a velocity of 24ft/s

The equation to determine his height will be:

h= 5 + 24t -16t^2
