What is Parabolic Flight Height Modeling about?

This document describes a parabolic flight used to simulate zero gravity conditions. Students are asked to: 1) Use data points of time and altitude to set up a system of equations and model the flight path as a quadratic function. 2) Solve the system of equations to find the coefficients a, b, and c to define the function h(t) = at^2 + bt + c. 3) Use the function to determine the time and altitude of maximum height, which correspond to the vertex of the parabolic graph. 4) Graph the quadratic model by plot
