Answer:
C) Quadratic
Step-by-step explanation:
When a rock is being launched from a third story window using a sling shot, it creates a projectile motion. The height (h) of any projectile motion above the ground after a time of (t) seconds is given by:-
[tex]H(t) = - (1 / 2) g t ^{2} + V_{0} t + H_{0}[/tex]
where [tex]V_{0}[/tex] denotes the initial velocity at time t = 0, [tex]H_{0}[/tex] refers to the initial height at time t = 0 and g denotes the acceleration due to gravity on earth which is approximately equal to 32 ft / s².
It is of the form
H(t) = a t² + b t + c
where the vertex is given by t = - b / 2a
Thus, we can conclude the projectile motion function is of Quadratic type.
