You (safely) bungee jump from a 200-feet tall bridge in your town. Your distance above the water's surface depends on the time since you jumped. Sketch a reasonable graph.
Using the function :
h(t) = 200 - 16t^2
The output graph will be a parabola as shown in the graph attached.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical motion of the object is defined by using the height function h(t) such that :
h(t) = -16t² + vt + s , where t is the time instant , v is the initial velocity and s is the initial height of the object.
Now, the height of the bridge = 200 feet
So it would be the initial height ⇒ s = 200
Initially the speed is 0 because the body is in rest at time instant 0 sec.
Hence, the resultant equation is : h(t) = -16t² + 200
And the graph is attached below :
