Problema Solution
a rock is prijected directly upward from ground level with an initial volcity of 90 ft / sec. When will the rock be 120 ft above the ground?
Answer provided by our tutors
The equation for the height of the rock is:
h(t) = - 16t^2 + 90t
We need to find such t that h(t) = 120 ft:
- 16t^2 + 90t = 120

........
t1 = 2.17 s
t2 = 3.45 s
The rock will be 120 feet above the ground first time after 2.17 seconds on the way up and second time after 3.45 seconds on the way down.
