Problema Solution

A hang glider 25 meters above the ground starts to descend at a constant rate of 2 meters per second. Which equation shows the height h after t seconds of descent?

Answer provided by our tutors

h = -2t + 25


2t = the distance the glider will pass descending with constant speed of 2 m/s (distance = speed*time)


25 = the initial height that will decrease by the distance that the glider will pass while descending during time t
