Scenario

The height, in feet, of an object shot upwards into the air with an initial velocity, in feet per second, of vi, after t seconds is given by the formula:

Use the equation above to answer questions about a model rocket is launched from the ground into the air with an initial velocity of 352 feet per second. Use the graph below to help answer the questions.

Assessment Instructions

Scenario

Your donut shop has perfected a method for the perfect glazed icing by slowly mixing whole milk with confectioners sugar while exposed to low heat. Your mixing tank starts with 10 fluid ounces of milk and 10 ounces of sugar. You continue adding sugar at a rate of 10 ounces per minute and milk at 1 ounce per minute, as depicted by the two equations below:

Where S represents the number of ounces of sugar, M represents the ounces of milk, and t represents the time in minutes. The ideal icing will have a ratio of 8 ounces of sugar per ounce of milk.
