Unit 3

Let's analyze the given information and match each person with their respective object, height,
time in the air, and age of sibling:

Height Time in Air Age of


Person Name Object (feet) (seconds) Sibling
1 Adam Football 48 2.5 Oldest

2 Brian Arrow 32 2 Second Oldest

3 Damian Tennis Ball 64 3 Third Oldest

4 Anne Bowling Ball 56 4 Youngest

Explanation
1. Person 1 (Adam): Adam launched his object from a tree house 48 feet in the air, and the
football was launched by Damian and took longer than the arrow and bowling ball to hit the
ground, which fits the given data.
2. Person 2 (Brian): The bowling ball was launched by the second oldest sibling and reached
maximum height in one second. The arrow is the only remaining option, and it went the highest
in the air, which matches with Brian.
3. Person 3 (Damian): Anne's object had the longest time in the air, and the tennis ball was
launched by Damian. The only object left is the arrow for Anne.
4. Person 4 (Anne): The youngest brother shot the arrow, and the only object left for Anne is the
bowling ball.
Who's Best
In terms of the given information, Damian with the tennis ball seems to be the best. The tennis
ball reached the highest maximum height (64 feet) and stayed in the air for the longest time (3
seconds). This indicates that Damian had the best combination of launch height and hang time
among the four people. Additionally, the tennis ball's flight characteristics suggest that Damian
might have achieved a more controlled and skillful throw. Therefore, based on the provided data,
Damian appears to be the best thrower in this scenario.
