ROCK CLIMBING
Damaris is rock climbing at Joshua Tree National Park in
the Mojave Desert. She launches a grappling hook from a height of 6 feet
with an initial upward velocity of 56 feet per second. The hook just misses

ledge 30 feet above the ground. How long was the hook in the air?

GYMNASTICS
The feet of a
8 ft/s
gymnast making a vault leave
the horse at a height of 8 feet
with an initial upward velocity
8 ft
of 8 feet per second. Use the
model for vertical motion to
find the time t in seconds it
takes for the gymnast’s feet to
reach the mat. (Hint: Let h = 0,
the height of the mat.)
