MULTI-STEP PROBLEM
A football is punted from a height of 2.5 feet above
48.
the ground and with an initial vertical velocity of 45 feet per second.
Not drawn to scale
5.5 ft
2.5 ft
Use the vertical motion model to write an equation that gives
a.
the height h (in feet) of the football as a function of the time t (in
seconds) after it has been punted.
b.
The football is caught 5.5 feet above the ground as shown in the
diagram. Find the amount of time that the football is in the air.
