Question

a baseball is hit upward from a height of 3 feet with an initial velocity of 80 feet per second (about 55 mph). the graph shows the height of the ball at any given second during its flight. use the graph to answer the following questions. a. approximate the time that the ball is at its maximum height. b. approximate the time that the ball hits the ground. c. at what time is the ball 67 feet above the ground? d. make a new graph that shows the time when the ball is at the given heights.

Explanation:

Step1: Observe graph peak

From the graph, the ball reaches max - height at x - value of 2 seconds.

Step2: Find ground - hitting time

The ball hits ground at x - value near 5 seconds.

Step3: Locate 67 - ft height time

The ball is at 67 ft at x - values 1 and 4 seconds.

Step4: New graph not possible here

This is a text - based response, can't create a new graph.

Answer:

a. 2 seconds
b. 5 seconds
c. 1 second and 4 seconds
d. Can't be done in this response
