Question 1114376: To catch a frisbee, a dog leaps into the air with an initial velocity of 14 feet.
Write a model for the height of the dog above the ground.
After how many seconds does the dog land on the ground?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! To catch a frisbee, a dog leaps into the air with an initial velocity of 14 feet.
Write a model for the height of the dog above the ground.
Model: h = (1/2)a*t^2+vot+ho where a = acceleration due to gravity; vo = initial velocity ; ho = initial height ; t = time in seconds
h = (1/2)(-32)t^2 + 14t + 0
h = -16t^2+14t
----------
After how many seconds does the dog land on the ground?
That depends on the height he reaches when he leaps.
Need to know value of "h"::
