Problema Solution

The path of a falling object is given by the function 0 0

2 s  16t  v t  s where

0 v represents the initial velocity in ft/sec and 0 s represents the initial height in feet.

a) If a rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second from the top of

a 25-foot building, write the height (s) equation using this information.

a) If a rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second from the top of a 25-foot building, write the height (s) equation using this information. 

Typing hint: Type t-squared as t^2

Answer: h(t) = -16t^2 + 64t + 25 (height above the ground, not the building)
