Motion Quadratic Graphs

The height of an object thrown into the air can be modeled by the formula h(t) = -16t² + 70t + 65, where h(t) is in feet after t seconds.

What is the height of the object after 5 seconds?

• 15 feet

• 45 feet

• 70 feet

• 71.56 feet

A ball is hit into the air with an initial velocity of 100 ft/s. Its height, h, after t seconds is given by the function

h = -16t² + 100t + 5

How many seconds did it take for the ball to reach its maximum height?

• 3.654 seconds

• 2.451 seconds

• 161.25 seconds

• 3.125 seconds

A ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 100 ft/s. Its height, h, after t seconds is given by the function

In a projectile motion problem, if the question is asking when an object will hit the ground, what part of the graph are you looking for? (Provided y is the height of the object and x is time)

• The y-intercept

• The x-intercepts

• The x-coordinate of the vertex

• The y-coordinate of the vertex

• Something else
