Algebra.Com's Answer #329659 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a stone is thrown vertically up with a velocity of 20m/s. \n" ); document.write( "determine \n" ); document.write( "A. the maximum height of the ball will reach to \n" ); document.write( "B. the time of flight of the ball \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "What ball? A stone was thrown?? \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "You didn't give a function, so I'll use this one. \n" ); document.write( "Assuming the ball/stone starts at a height of zero: \n" ); document.write( "h(t) = -4.9t^2 + 20t + 0 \n" ); document.write( "A. the maximum height of the ball will reach \n" ); document.write( "That's the vertex of the parabola, at t = -b/2a \n" ); document.write( "t = -20/-9.8 \n" ); document.write( "t = 100/49 seconds, ~ 2.041 seconds \n" ); document.write( "h(100/49) = -4.9*(100/49)^2 + 20*100/49 \n" ); document.write( "=~ 20.408 meters \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "B. the time of flight of the ball \n" ); document.write( "It's 2x the time in A, same time falling as ascending. \n" ); document.write( "= 200/49 seconds \n" ); document.write( "=~ 4.082 seconds \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
