@YanaSidlinskiy @Conqueror @ganeshie8 @paki @Compassionate @pgpilot326

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the quition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, for part A, what info do you have?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

I dont have one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than what do you need help with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is a quition?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geekfromthefutur did you read the problem?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

A: H(t) = -16t2 + vt + s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yikes thats a hard one

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

@pgpilot326

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Ok ty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dude, what info are they giving you in part A?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

The height of the projectile and the feet of it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the initial height and the initial velocity (speed). what variables represent these quantities in your equation?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

H and T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow, really? read the first paragraph again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let's identify what all of the variables are and what they represent. H(t) is what? What are its units? t is what? What are its units? s is what? What are its units? v is what? What are its units?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not intentional... just surprised. and @YanaSidlinskiy , that is NOT part A. please don't just give out answers anyways... read the code of conduct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and part B is wrong too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow... i'm not putting people down. and i'm doing my best to help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geekfromthefutur , what did you figure out on the variables?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you there?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

s shows the height

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

H (t), in feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

s is the initial height, in feet. H(t) is the height after t seconds, in feet. what about t and v?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

t seconds v feet per second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t is time, in seconds and v is initial velocity, in feet per second. very good! so look at the original equation. what is it?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

The projectile was launched from a height of 90 feet with an initial velocity of 50 feet per second.

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

I mean wrong thing

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

H(t) = -16t2 + vt + s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(H(t) = -16t^2+vt+s\) and from part A we have what you wrote. very good. now we want to identify what we actaully get from part A in terms of the variables and then substitute that into the origianl equation. So can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"actually" not actaully

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geekfromthefutur what is the 90 feet in part A?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

H(t)=-16t^2+60t+100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm and the 60 and 100 came from...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm trying to help you... please don't waste my time with bs. if you don't know something, say so. do you want me to give you minimal effort? you get what you give!

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

I think ik it but I may get it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's okay to make mistakes but just give it your best effort. if you do make a mistake, i'll help and show you the correct way. mistakes are just wonderful opportunities to learn.

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Ok thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the 90 feet in part A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, but i don't have much time... please respond in a timely fashion.

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Ok

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

H(t)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, if it is, then what is t? in other words, at what time is H(t) = 90 feet?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

t seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, 90 feet is the height of the projectile when it is launched. it's the initial height. the time is t = 0 seconds. so s = 90 feet. what about the 50 feet per second? what is that?
