Question 1023285
-4.9t^2 means that ball follows a parabolic path that curves downward
:
The first derivative is
:
-9.8t +6.1
:
Now set first derivative = 0
:
-9.8t +6.1 = 0
:
-9.8t = -6.1
:
t is approx 0.6 seconds
:
The ball reaches max height at 0.6 seconds
:
h(0.6) = -4.9 (0.6)^2 +6.1 (0.6)
:
max height reached is 1.9 meters
:
*********************************************
The ball does not reach a height of 2 meters
