Question 1171617: A rocket is launched from atop a 101 foot cliff with an initial velocity of 116 feet per second. What is the maximum height of the projectile and how long will it take to reach that specific height? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! h(t)=-16t^2+116t+101
max height is where t=-b/2a
that is -116/-32=3.625 sec.
-
the height is -16(3.625^2)+116(3.625)+101=311.25 feet
