Algebra.Com's Answer #730458 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A rocket is fired upward from some initial distance above the ground. its height in feet, h, above the ground, t, seconds after it is fired, is given by h= -16t^2+112t+1568.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.What is the rockets maximum height? \n" ); document.write( "The max height is at the vertex of the parabola. Do you know how to find that? \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( "2.How long does it take for the rocket to reach its maximum height? \n" ); document.write( "See #1. \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "3.After it is fired, the rocket reaches the ground at t=___?\" \n" ); document.write( "At impact, h(t) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "Solve for t, ignore the negative solution. \n" ); document.write( "========================== \n" ); document.write( "PS A rocket has thrust, and does not follow a parabola. \n" ); document.write( "This is a projectile. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
