Follow the directions on the Vertical Motion page, to complete each of the sections below.
**__The Word Problem__:** How would you solve for time in the problem your group was assigned? Prepare the equation to solve for time, defining the variables and supporting your choice in equation.  8) You throw a shoe downward with an initial velocity of -10 feet per second out of a window in an attempt to hit some obnoxious heckler on the street 50 feet below. He sees it coming and avoids it. How long does it take the shoe to hit the ground? You use this equation because it's the formula for vertical motion when you're throwing an object.gh





The parabola would be going down because "a" is negative.Also the parabola would be narrow since the number representing "a" is "big" (not mentioning if its negative or positive in that sense)
 * __The Parabola:__** Use what you know about parabolas to predict the shape of the graph. What will it look like, and how do you know?

A=-16 B=-10 C=50 The effect of a on the graph will be narrower because the number is high and negative it will go down.If it was a fraction it would be thiner (the graph).The effect on c will be how it is positions and shifts graph .


 * __The Math__:** Pretend you are the teacher, and this section is your lesson. Post the calculations required to graph the equation and find the solution, and show all the steps to doing so. Teach your audience all the important parts of the graph and explain what they mean for the problem you were given.
 * __The Solution and The Meaning__:** What do the different parts of the graph mean? What does the solution mean?


 * __Reflection__** How did it feel to do the work and pretend to be the teacher? Do you think you understand the material more, now? Why or why not?
