Lucy kicks a shuttlecock into the air from a height of 0.6 feet
with an initial vertical velocity of 16 feet per second. Use the
vertical motion model, h = -16t2 + vt + s, where v is the
initial velocity in feet per second and s is the initial height in
feet, to calculate the maximum height of the shuttlecock.
Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Maximum height: ___feet

4.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

Where

v is initial velocity (given as 16)

s is initial height (given as 0.6)

Substituting, we can write:

This is a quadratic equation of the general form:  

Which we can conclude the coefficients to be:

a = -16

b = 16

c = 0.6

The max height occurs at the value:  

So, max height occurs at:

We will get the max height if we put  t = 0.5  into the original equation. So that would be:

Max Height = 4.6 feet   (occurs at t = 0.5 seconds)

answer: it would most likely be y=6 and 5/7.

step-by-step explanation:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
