Question 1124535: A projectile is fired upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 295 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance (this just means we are keeping it simple), the height of the projectile at any time, t in seconds, can be described by the following polynomial:
-16t^2+295t
A) How high in the air is the projectile after 7 seconds?
B) Approximate (to the nearest second) how long before the projectile hits the ground. (HINT: What will the height be when the projectile hits the ground?) Do not calculate the exact answer! Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
This function provides the height of a projectile in feet at seconds after the projectile was fired from an initial height of zero feet at an initial velocity of 295 feet per second.
A) Evaluate
B) Set and solve for the positive value of
