You can put this solution on YOUR website! 84. Rabies vaccination- The game comission plane, flying at 1100 feet, drops oral rabies vaccinations pellets into the game preserve.
a. find the position equation of the model height of the vaccination pellets.
h(t) = -16t^2 + 1100
--------------------------------------------
b. the plane is flying at 95 miles per hour. how far will the pellets travel horizontally during its decent?
-----
Time before it hits the ground:
-16t^2 + 1100 = 0
t^2 = 1100/16
t = (sqrt(1100))/4 = 8.2916 seconds
-------------------
Horizontal distance at 95 mph for 8.2916 seconds
-------------
95 mph = 95/(3600) miles per second
----
Horizontal distance will be (95/3600)*8.2916 = 0.2188 miles
