Question

FOR FAN AND MEDAL, Can somebody verify that this is A?

Answer 1

A golf ball is hit from the ground with an initial velocity of 208 feet per second. Assume the starting height of the ball is 0 feet. How long will it take the golf ball to hit the ground?

13 secs

21 secs

42 secs

6 secs

Answer 2

does the golf ball travels straight up or parabola?

Answer 3

All I know is what I posted

Answer 4

I would imagine a parabola because it's virtually impossible to hit a golf ball straight up, especially if you look at it logically, the fave of the club just isn't the right angle:)

Answer 5

I would tend to agree with that.

Answer 6

there are some missing info. if the ball travels as a parabola, there should be distance from the group at the highest point or horizontal d where it landed.

Answer 7

If you know the formula I could figure it out

Answer 8

I found this. I was correct. Thanks yall! http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/4fa29c0ee4b029e9dc336522

Answer 9

Hm I think the problem is assuming you that it's straight up!
If so:
d= v0(t) + 1/2 at^2
0 = 208t + 1/2 (-32) t^2
t = 13
