Question 870209: A water balloon is dropped from the roof of a 60-foot building with an initial velocity of 20 feet per second. The height of the balloon can be modeled by a function.
a. What is the function that represents the height of the balloon at a specific time? Use h(t) to represent the function.
b. How long does it take the balloon to reach the ground? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a second.)
c. What is the balloon’s height at t = 0.5 seconds?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A water balloon is dropped from the roof of a 60-foot building with an initial velocity of 20 feet per second. The height of the balloon can be modeled by a function.
a. What is the function that represents the height of the balloon at a specific time? Use h(t) to represent the function.
b. How long does it take the balloon to reach the ground? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a second.)
c. What is the balloon’s height at t = 0.5 seconds?
=====================
Assuming the 20 ft/sec is upward (since it's positive):
a. What is the function that represents the height of the balloon at a specific time? Use h(t) to represent the function.
(commonly used for English units, tho it's not my place to spec the function)
------------------
b. How long does it take the balloon to reach the ground? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a second.)
Solve for h(t) = 0. Ignore the negative solution.
----------------------
c. What is the balloon’s height at t = 0.5 seconds?
That would be h(0.5)
