Question 87464: Suppose a baseball is shot up from the ground straight up with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. A function can be created by expressing distance above the ground, s, as a function of time, t. This function is s = -16t2 + v0t + s0
• 16 represents ˝g, the gravitational pull due to gravity (measured in feet per second 2).
• v0 is the initial velocity (how hard do you throw the object, measured in feet per second).
• s0 is the initial distance above ground (in feet). If you are standing on the ground, then s0 = 0.
a) What is the function that describes this problem?
Answer: quadratic function
b) The ball will be how high above the ground after 1 second?
Answer:
Show work in this space.
c) How long will it take to hit the ground?
Answer:
Show work in this space.
d) What is the maximum height of the ball?
Answer:
Show work in this space.

Question 89938: It is the year 2074 and the electric truck is a reality. Jeff is an independent truck driver who delivers vehicles from the factory to the dealers in his very flat state. Jeff’s truck (with him and his lunch box in it) weighs 8,000 lbs. From Jeff’s house in Small Town to the automobile factory, which is 120 miles away, his truck consumes 99.86 kW-h of energy. He loads up 6 vehicles with a nominal weight each of 3000 lbs. His closest customer, dealership Rip-U-Off, is 200 miles away and Jeff’s truck consumes another 543 kW-h getting there. He delivers X trucks to Mr. Rip-U-Off and continues on to dealership U-Bought-It to deliver the rest of the vehicles. U-Bought-It is 300 miles from Rip-U-Off and Jeff’s truck consumed 436.89 kW-h to get to it. Jeff returns home with his empty truck and consumes 41.61 kW-h to get home (he was so busy that had no time to eat his lunch).
This is a challenging problem. Let’s not get frustrated trying to solve it right, but rather let’s spend time formulating it and discussing the possibilities. Of course, the easy questions are:
· How many vehicles did each dealer get? and
· How far is Jeff’s home from the U-Bought-It dealership?
The bonus question is which of the two dealers received a smuggled shipment of potatoes in the trunk of one of the vehicles and how much did the shipment weigh?
