A baseball is dropped from a glider 500 feet above the ground. The height (in feet) above the ground is modeled by the function ℎ() = −162 + 500, where is the time in seconds. A) What is the height of the ball after 2 seconds? B) How long will it take for the ball to fall to a height of 100 feet above the ground? C) How long will it take the ball to reach the ground?

A) 436 ft

B) t = 5 sec

C) 5.60 s

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

The height of the ball at time t is given by the equation

where

is the acceleration of the ball (acceleration of gravity, downward)

+500 is the initial height of the ball, at time t = 0

Here we want to find the height of the ball after 2 seconds, so at a time of

t = 2 s

Substituting into the equation, we find:

B)

Here we want to find the time it takes for the ball to fall to a height of 100 feet above the ground, so the time t at which

h(t) = 100 ft

As stated in the text of the question, the height of the ball at time t is given by

Since

h(t) = 100, we have

And solving for t we find:

So, the correct solution is the positive one:

t = 5 sec

C)

The ball reaches the ground when the height of the ball has became zero:

The height of the ball at time t is given by

And substituting

h(t) = 0

We get

And solving the equation for t, we find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground:

So, the correct solution is the positive one:

t = 5.60 s

welll its a very hard question but ill

step-by-step explanation:

first you take the 6 dollars and add 10 to it then add the 50 to that then multiply by 8 with xy and your answer will be

hope this

but which class are u may know that first
