Vertical Motion (Quad. Applications - part 1)

Identify the value of each variable:

Linda throw a ball with a force of 18ft per second. It leaves her hand 4ft above the ground. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground?

• h = 0, x = ?, v = 18, s = 4

• h = 4, x = ?, v = 18, s = 0

• h = ?, x = 18, v = 0, s = 4

• h = 0, x = 18, v = ?, s = 4

Identify the value of each variable:

An angry bird is launched from a 12ft stand going 40ft per second. How long will it take for the bird to hit a target sitting on a 4ft tall box?

• h = 4, x = ?, v = 40, s = 12

• h = 12, x = ?, v = 40, s = 4

• h = ?, x = 40, v = 4, s = 12

• h = 40, x = 12, v = ?, s - 4

Identify the value of each variable:

Ethan drops a rock from a window (doesn't throw it.. drops it). The window is 16 feet above ground level. How long will it take to hit the ground?

• h = 0, x = ?, v = 0, s = 16

• h = 0, x = 0, v = ?, s = 16

• h = 16, x = ?, v = 0, s = 0

• h = 16, x = 0, v = 0, s = ?

Identify the value of each variable:

Layla throws a ball upwards so it goes 15ft per second. It leaves her hand 5ft above the ground. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground?

• h = 0, x = ?, v = 15, s = 5

• h = 5, x = ?, v = 15, s = 0

• h = ?, x = 15, v = 5, s = 0

• h = 0, x = ?, v = 0, s = ?
