It helps them detect the location of the sound
I think it's like this: x2+3x-5 So if the x2 part is a positive then it opens upward but if it's negative it goes downward.
It is a function because for every point on the horizontal axis, the parabola identified one and only one point in the vertical direction.
When a skydiver opens the parachute, he or she does not move upward, but rather, continues to move downward, but at a slower speed. Sometimes there is an illusion that the skydiver is moving upward, because if there are several people skydiving together, and one of them opens a parachute while the others don't, you will see the skydiver with the open parachute moving upward with relation to the other skydivers. But they are all still moving downward, they are just doing so at different speeds.
The maximum.
Yes. Acceleration can be positive or negative. When he jumps out of the airplane and is in free fall, he is accelerating in a downward direction, so his acceleration is negative. When he opens his parachute, he accelerates in an upward direction, so his acceleration is positive.
The maximum point.
maximum point :)
maximum point :)
if you mean to plot it on a graph like this: y = 4x2 Then yes. It opens upward away from the x-axis, with it's focal point at (0, 0)
If you want the graph to show the acceleration of the ball against time, then the graph is a horizontal line. If you want the graph to show the velocity of the ball against time, then the graph is a straight line sloping downward. If you want the graph to show the height of the ball against time, then the graph is a parabola that opens downward.
Is a parabola whose directrix is below its vertex.
