Question

the graph below describes a ball that was kicked. which of the following is a true statement describing the graph? the ball had a maximum height of 2000 centimeters and it was in the air for a total of 2 seconds. the ball was kicked from 500 centimeters from the ground and it traveled for 4 seconds. the ball was kicked from the ground and it was in the air for 4 seconds. the ball had a maximum height of 1000 centimeters and it was in the air for 4 seconds.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze graph height

The highest point on the height - time graph is at 1000 cm on the height axis.

Step2: Analyze graph time

The ball starts at \(t = 0\) seconds and hits the ground again at \(t=4\) seconds, so it is in the air for 4 seconds.

Answer:

The ball had a maximum height of 1000 centimeters and it was in the air for 4 seconds.
