Answer:
[tex]h(t) = 6 + 35t - 4.9t ^ 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can use the kinematic equation for the position of an object.
[tex]h(t) = h_0 + v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt ^ 2[/tex]
Where:
[tex]h(t)[/tex] is the position of the object
[tex]h_0[/tex] is the initial position
[tex]v_0[/tex] is the initial velocity
t = time
g is the acceleration of gravity.
We know that the height from the window to the floor is 6 meters and that Mary was launched at an initial speed of 35 m/s
So:
[tex]h_ 0 = 6\ m\\\\v_0 = 35\ m/s\\\\g = 9.8\ m/s ^ 2[/tex]
Finally, the equation that represents this situation is:
[tex]h(t) = 6 + 35t - \frac{1}{2}9.8t ^ 2[/tex]
