Question 5 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)

A baseball is thrown into the air from a height of 5 feet. The ball reaches a maximum height of 43.5 feet and spends a total of 3.2 seconds in the air. Which equation models the height of the baseball? Assume that acceleration due to gravity is –16 ft/s2.

Answer
A
h(t) = 16t2 + 49.64t + 5
B
h(t) = -16t2 + 5t + 49.64
C
h(t) = -16t2 + 49.64t + 5
D
h(t) = 16t2 + 5t + 49.64
