Quadratic Applications in the Real World

We learned about the Falling Object Model, which can help you determine the location of an object when it is dropped from a given height. Objects fall towards the earth at a given rate, and the model can help you determine how long it will take an object to fall to the ground.

Another useful model that involves quadratics is the Falling Objects with Initial Force Model. Divers, gymnasts, and bullet motion all use this model to describe the path of motion.

These models will be used in tomorrow's homework.
