  1. Graphs - Excellence Mahobe

  2. Beatrice is entered in the discus throwing event. One day at training she has a warm-up throw in which her coach videos her technique. The discus is 2 metres above the ground when it is released. During the first 10 seconds the height of the discus increases at a constant rate of 3 metres per second. After 10 seconds the flight of the discus can be modelled by a parabola. At 12 seconds the discus reaches a maximum height of 36 metres.

  3. The flight of the discus is graphed below.

  4. Write two equations that model the flight of the discus.

  5. The straight line starts at (0,2) and increases at a rate of 3m/sec

  6. The parabola peaks at (12,36)

  7. It reaches the ground, H = 0, at 18 seconds.

  8. Alternatively, we can look at symmetry. Intercepts would be at (6, 0) and (18, 0)

  9. It passes through the point (12,36)

  10. The video camera is placed 27 metres above the ground.Calculate the times the discus is level with the camera.

  11. Using equation 1

  12. Using equation 2

  13. The jet of water from a park’s water sprinkler follows the path modelled by • Where x is the horizontal distance travelled and • y is the vertical height the water reaches

  14. Draw the graph

  15. Don’t draw the negative region!

  16. What is the furthest distance the water travels?

  17. 50 metres

  18. What is the greatest height that the water reaches?

  19. OR

  20. At one end of the park is a 2.25m high fence. The water is just managing to go over the fence. Calculate the distance of the wall from the sprinkler.

  21. At one end of the park is a 2.25m high fence. The water is just managing to go over the fence. Calculate the distance of the wall from the sprinkler.

  22. At one end of the park is a 2.25m high fence. The water is just managing to go over the fence. Calculate the distance of the wall from the sprinkler.

  23. If the park caretaker moves the sprinkler so that the water just reaches the base of the fence, how far will the sprinkler have to be moved?

  24. 5 metres • If the park caretaker moves the sprinkler so that the water just reaches the base of the fence, how far will the sprinkler have to be moved?
