You can put this solution on YOUR website! a rocket is launched from atop a 32-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 154 ft/s.
a.write an equation to describe the height of the rocket T seconds after launch
THE EQN. IS
S=32+UT-GT^2/2...WHERE
S=DISTANCE TRAVELLED INCLUDING THE INITIAL HT.OR TOTAL HEIGHT ABOVE GROUND......FT.
U=INITIAL VELOCITY...FT/SEC
T= TIME...SEC.
G=ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY...32 FT/SEC.SEC.
SUBSTITUTING...
S=32+154*T - 32*T^2/2 =32+154*T-16*T^2
b.graph the equation to find out how long after the rocket is launched it will hit the ground.
T 0 2 4 6 8 9.8
S 32 276 392 380 240 0.0
c.estimate your answer to the nearest tenth of a second
T=9.8 SEC.......FROM THE QUADRATIC EQN.S=0 AT 9.2 SEC...
