2. Jhonny is tossing a ball vertically into the air, if he is 5ft tall and he didn’t catch the ball which he tosses 4.89 m above the ground. Find the final velocity of the ball if hits the ground after 3.34 s?

Answer:

We are asked to find the total time t the ball was in the air. We are thus essentially solving for t in the equation 6=−16t2+30t+5.

To solve for t we rewrite the equation above by setting it equal to zero because 0 represents the height. Zero height implies the ball is on the ground. We can do this by subtracting 6 from both sides

6−6=−16t2+30t+5−6

0=−16t2+30t−1

To solve for t we must use the quadratic formula:

x=−b±√b2−4ac2a

where a=−16,b=30,c=−1

So...

t=−(30)±√(30)2−4(−16)(−1)2(−16)

t=−30±√836−32

This yields t≈0.034,t≈1.84

Notice: What we ultimately found were the roots of the equation

and if we were to graph the function y=−16t2+30t−1 what we will get is the path of the ball.
