Vertical Motion Model Practice

Name:

$4.$ Edgar throws a basketball from a height of $7$ feet at an initial velocity of $58$ feet per second.

a$.$ Function:

b$.$ WHEN does the basketball reach its maximum height?

c$.$ WHEN does the basketball hit the ground?

d$.$ Do both $x-$intercepts "exist" in the Domain? Why or why not?

$5.$ David throws a soccer ball from a height of $25$ feet at an initial velocity of $46$ feet per second.

a$.$ Function:

b$.$ What is the maximum height of the soccer ball?

c$.$ How far does the ball travel before it hits the ground?

d$.$ Do both $x-$intercepts "exist" in the Domain? Why or why not?

$6.$ Laila throws a football from a height of $6$ feet at an initial velocity of $74$ feet per second.

a$.$ Function:

b$.$ WHEN does the football reach its maximum height?

c$.$ WHEN does the basketball hit the ground?

d$.$ Do both x$-$intercepts "exist" in the Domain? Why or why not?

$7.$ How would the basic vertical model CHANGE if you used a catapult or hurled a ball on the moon? What about on Jupiter?
