Question

A toy rocket is fired from the middle of a field from a platform that is 3 feet high with an upwards velocity of 200 feet per second. a. Write an equation that can represent the height of the rocket as a function of time.

Answer 1

`s(t)=3+200t-4.9t^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

s₀ = 3

vC = 200

a = -9.8

s(t) = s₀ + v₀t + 1/2at²

`s(t)=3+200(t)+(1)/(2) (-9.8)t^2`

`s(t)=3+200t-4.9t^2`
