A rifle fires a projectile vertically upward from a height of 150 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 1250 ft/sec.  Recall that projectiles are modeled by the function:     h(t) = -16t2 + v0t + y0         where v0 = initial velocity and                                                  y0 = initial height   Write the function that describes the height of the projectile above the ground (in feet) after t seconds. When will the projectile reach a maximum height AND what is that maximum height? H (t = 39.0625) = -16 < 0 = t = 39.0625 How long will it take for the projectile to hit the ground?

  1. A rifle fires a projectile vertically upward from a height of 150 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 1250 ft/sec.  Recall that projectiles are modeled by the function:  

 

h(t) = -16t2 + v0t + y0         where v0 = initial velocity and 

                                                y0 = initial height

 

  1. Write the function that describes the height of the projectile above the ground (in feet) after t seconds.
  2. When will the projectile reach a maximum height AND what is that maximum height? H (t = 39.0625) = -16 < 0 = t = 39.0625
  3. How long will it take for the projectile to hit the ground?
