A student launches a toy model rocket from the top of a building. The rocket lands on a target on the ground below (shattering to pieces after the parachute fails to open). The equation for the rocket's height in meters is given by A(t) = -4/10(t-30) to the 2nd power + 650 where t is the time in seconds after launch.
How high is the building that the rocket was launched from? I think 650 represents the height of the building. Am I right?
What was the greatest height that the rocket reached, and how long after launch did it reach this height?
When I use he quadratic formula, I come up with 5 with the square root of 65 +30 as the x-intercept. I just don't know if that is the right answer and how that translates into seconds. My y-intercept is 290, so I am thinking that was the maximum height for the rocket. Is that correct?
When did the rocket land?
A ball is launched straight up in the air from a height of 5 feet. Its velocity (feet/second) t seconds after launch is given by f(t)=−34t+284.
The height of the ball 6 seconds after launch is ??? feet.
During the hurricane, a brick breaks loose from the top of a chimney, 38 feet above the ground. As the brick falls, its distance from the ground after t seconds is given by d (t) =-16t²+ 38. Find the formulas for d(t)=15.
