I observed a squirrel running across the roof of the my house. The squirrel attempted to jump to a tree. The poor squirrel had bad luck and fell short of the tree. I am happy to report that the squirrel was unharmed and landed on the ground safely. The mathematician in me analyed the situation and came up with the following: Let: h= squirrel (ft) = time (sec) Equation: h-16+10t+18 1. At 0.313 seconds, the squirrel reaches the peak of her trajectory. How high was the squirrel before she began to fall? 2. How high was the squirrel before she jumped? 3. About how long was the squirrel in the air (from the time she left the roof to hitting the ground?) (When would h=0 ft) 4. Using the information from questions #1-3, sketch the graph the represents the squirrel's height vs. time. Label your both axis. 5. From the equation, how fast was the squirrel running when she jumped? I observed a squirrel running across the roof of the my house. The squirrel attempted to jump to a tree.
