Solve the problem using a graphing calculator.
-Estimate the maximum height reached by a baseball during its flight if it is thrown with a velocity of 65 feet per second at an angle of $76 ^ { \circ }$ relative to level ground.
A) 374 feet
B) 4 feet
C) 15 feet
D) 62 feet

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vertical component of the initial velocity is $65 \sin(76^\circ)$. Using the formula for maximum height $h = \frac{v^2 \sin^2(\theta)}{2g}$, where $g = 32.2 \, \text{ft/s}^2$, the maximum height is approximately 62 feet.
