4. BASEBALL Brad tossed a baseball in the air from a beight of 6 feet with an initial upward velocity of 14 feet per
second, Enrique caught the ball on its way down at a point 4 feet above the ground. How long was the ball in
the air before Enrique caught it? Use the model of vertical motion from Exercise 3.

Answer :

101human

Answer:

It will be 1 second in the air before Enrique caught it.

The time for which the ball was in the air before enrique caught it is; t = 1 second

What is the time of the projectile motion?

This projectile motion is depicted by the general equation;

h = -16t² + vt + s

where;

t is time

v is initial velocity

s is distance above the ground.

When the height is 0, we will get the time t that the  ball was in the air. Thus;

0 = -16t² + 12t + 4

Using online quadratic equation to solve for t, we have;

t = -0.25 or 1

t cannot be negative and so t is 1 seconds
