uadratic Equations Activity Purpose: Mathematical models based on quadratic equations describe curved paths through space. The purpose of this project is to develop an understanding of techniques used to apply quadratic models to describe motion. Assignment Goal: Describe the motion of a rocket using a quadratic model. Instructions: Respond to each of the questions. Your solutions must document all of your work. Scenario: A toy rocket is launched straight upward from a pad 10 ft above ground level with an initial velocity of 96 ft/sec. Use the general formula for the vertical position (height) of an object moving under the influence of gravity where s0 is initial vertical position, v0 is initial velocity, and s is vertical position of the object. Define a model (equation) to express the vertical position (height) of the rocket s (in meters) above ground level t seconds after launch. Let g = 32 ft/sec2
