NASA uses many different models of airplane in order to carry out scientific experiments. The airplane is a widely used vehicle for scientific instruments due it its ability to carry a wide range of scientific instruments. NASA has uses the P-3 and the D-8 scientific airplanes for many mission‚ one of which is Operation Icebridge. The goal of operation IceBridge is to “[use] a fleet of research aircraft‚ NASA’s Operation IceBridge images Earth’s polar ice to better understand connections between

A model rocket is fired vertically from an elevated launch pad at an initial height of 4 feet at an initial velocity of 350 feet per second. The gravitational force of Earth is pulling the rocket down at a rate of 16 feet per second per second. The formula for‚ s(t)‚ for the function that models the height of the water balloon at time t‚ in seconds‚ is s(t)= -16t2 + 350t + 4. We can determine how long it takes for the rocket to land from the graph where the function intercepts the x-axis because
