Question

A monkey is at the top of a pole 15 feet high and slides down at the rate of 2 feet per second. Model this situation as a function of height “h” of the monkey from the ground with respect to time “t”.

A.h(t) = 15 + 2t
B. h(t) = 15 – 2t
C. h(t) = - 15 + 2t
D. h(t) = -15 – 2t

Answer 1

Answer:

h(t) = 15 - 2t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

h₀ = 15 ft

a = -2 ft/s

$\boxed{h(t)=h_o+at}$

$h(t)=15+(-2)t$

$h(t)=15-2t$
