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. ==== ====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? ====



===The //h// in the equation refers to the ending point in this case because its falling towards the ground. //t// refers to time which in this problem is not known//. v// stands for velocity of the shoe which is -10 and //h subz////ero// is the initial point in which the shoe was thrown. ===

The answer is positive so the parabola will have 2 points also known as 2 solutions. **What is this in reference to? Did you do math or something?**
====__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. ====

**What is this? I need an explanation for all this math. Where is your graph with labels? Section 3 is late.**

__The Solution and The Meaning__: What do the different parts of the graph mean? What does the solution mean?
=== The solution is how long the time takes for the shoe to hit the ground and the vertex represents the highest point the shoe will ever meet.The line represents the height of the shoe and the y-intercept is the initial height of the shoe.The roots on the parabola is the time the shoe took to hit the ground and the shoe is in the air 1.48 seconds. ===

====__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? ==== ===** Autumn :I think the parabola was hard because it was alot of work to do and plug in all of the numbers.Trying to stay focused and not talk to others was also difficult.Yes the project helped because I understand how to get the roots and the vertex now.It felt a little hard because I didn't want to get the wrong answer and others would get the same wrong answer.**===

===** Stephanie S :The most difficult thing that I found was what the time was because we had too many fractions.What I would do different next time is I would learn more about how to solve fractions.This project didn't help because I already knew how to solve quadratic equations and vertical motion.It felt great being a teacher for a few days.**===

===** Stephanie M :The most difficult part was finding out what the time was because our equation involved alot of fractions.I think next time I should be more organized.The project kinda helped because I could ask my partners to explain the problem to me in a way where I could understand it better.I found this project to be gangster and very fun :D**===
