Question 844782: A ball is tossed in the air from an initial height of 6 feet, it reaches its maximum height of 10 feet after 3 seconds then comes back down.then it bounces back up to a second maximum height of 1 foot in 1 second
a) Assume that the motion is parabolic in each case and determine a piecewise function h(t). express all non- exact answers rounded correctly to three decimal places.
b) now assume that the whole time it is doing this, it is moving in the horizontal(call it the x direction) at a constant speed of 1.5 feet per second. Determine the particles path through space h(x(t)) as a piecewise function as it goes through the initial toss and two bounces leave all non-exact answers rounded to three decimal places.
