Question

crickets can jump with a vertical velocity of up to 14 ft/s. which equation models the height of such a jump, in feet, after t seconds?

(h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + h_0)

• (h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + 14)
• (h(t) = -16t^2 + 14t)
• (h(t) = -16t^2 + 14t + 14)

Explanation:

Identify the given parameters

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Substitute parameters into the general model

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Answer:

• \(h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + 14\)
• \(h(t) = -16t^2 + 14t\) (Correct answer)
• \(h(t) = -16t^2 + 14t + 14\)
